Should have dropped out

Biles said she had a case of the "twisties," which happens to gymnasts when they lose track of where they are in the air. The twisties could lead to serious injuries.

She's the only one who knows if she is in the headspace to compete. This is a woman who blew the whistle on abuse, has lead us to multiple championships, and most of the people criticizing her can't even reach the floor to pick up the cheeto they just dropped walking back from the kitchen.

All of her responsibilities as a representative of the United States, and her responsibilities to BLM, just overwhelmed her.

Candice Kundert

Because she said she could not trust her mind and body. This is a very dangerous sport and if you are not feeling it, it is definitely best to drop out. I believe it very important to know yourself and care for your safety and make good self care decisions. I fully support her.

Max

Yes, she should go home and never return.

Some have criticized Biles as a quitter who gave up when the going got tough.

She messed up her routine and all of a sudden had a " mental" problem? Really? More like ego. No gold no play is more like it, or so it looks like. By getting the Twisties all of a sudden the focus was again all about her and not on the one who actually won the gold. Now here she is, back

Real Champions don't have these issues.

I'd much rather achieve a better work-life balance in lieu of higher pay. Money isn't everything!

Big waste of money on a vanity project that does not benefit Americans. Money can be better spent on Healthcare, the homeless, housing, daycare, education..I could go on and on. This president is the biggest conman and grifter ever in history. He has already wasted & stolen billions of dollars.

Linda Rothrock Jurus

When it proposed Trump said it was being built by private donors! Now Liar in Chief wants taxpayers to foot bill... Just another of many lies!

L. Maldonado

Illegal. No Congressional permission. No taxpayer approval. Unneeded. No his personal residence. WH belongs to the people, not the Kremlin look-a-like. Trump is not POTUS; he was constitutionally banned from office. He DID NOT WIN, because the Constitution says so. (14thA, section 3.)

Ralph Stewart

The average American is being hurt by the rising gas and grocery prices and shouldn’t be expected to pay for an extravagant ballroom. The US doesn’t need to be spending money on luxuries like a ballroom, when it can’t pay its 28 TRILLION DOLLARS debt. The country is on the verge of bankruptcy!
