This to me is the issue, if she got the yips, then sure, pull out if you're no longer confident in your athletic ability
It is the ideological response to this that I hate: that this makes her a *better* human, even a *superhuman*, somehow better than the actual winners

This isn't about her at all, it's about what the encompassing ideology wants from all of us:
To convince us that it is natural to be too anxious to function, and that rather than mustering the skills + will to push through your doubts, it is better—heroic!—to retreat from them

Simone Biles—definitely not us, the media!—could "change attitudes" about why it's actually good for you to be just as worthless as the massively dysfunctional journalist class that is redetermining your attitudes about the meaning of this event!
Whenever the professional propaganda class tells you "Person X is making us now believe in Thing," it's not about Person X

When they tell us in total lockstep "It is braver for an Olympian to concentrate on her mental well-being than to compete," they are telling you they worship their own mental unwellness, that you should share in it, and if you don't, you're actually less of a human, not more
Leftism understands that it's nowhere close to being worthy of rule
This leads to mass anxiety among the propaganda class—they know they don't belong there. It eats at them from the minute they wake up to the moment they finally fall asleep.

The only way they can alleviate the unbearable anxiety that results from this is to inflict it on everyone underneath them.
They see the GOAT mentally breaking down, think "She's just like me!"—and then immediately rush to explain why, as it turns out, that's just like you.
