Getting 1st place in anything is pressure - whether you have 200 people watching or 200,000 does it really make that much of a difference at that point? The social pressure isn't the hard part, it's practicing the equivalent of all-day every-day to beat out the other individuals that are doing the same thing - except slightly more than you
Anyhow, newer generations seem to be too fragile since this is something that has exploded more recently. Same thing happened with Naomi Osaka on the tennis side.
Yeah, she was propped up WAY too much.

Nope, I tapped out of watching Olympic events around 2000.
Nearly all the events are crap and boring.
lolol simone biles fragile? she is one of the more accomplished gymnasts of all time. her accomplishments are easy to look up so I won't post them. she has multiple moves NAMED AFTER HER BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONLY ONE IN HISTORY TO HAVE DONE THEM. Literally, four elements named after her https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnastics_elements_named_after_Simone_Biles
imagine some sexist dude on the internet calling someone who has performed at the top of their craft for multiple years calling them fragile. holy shit batman.
For some reason, I find that I just don't care anymore.Yeah, she was propped up WAY too much.

Well, I didn't even know this was about the Olympics until I saw this post...Yeah, she was propped up WAY too much.

I was going to make a meme about a generation of people who think that pasting some trite words on a stock photo is a substitute for making a cogent argument but I didn't because reasons! 🤔
