Simone Biles Decides To Withdraw From The Olympics To Take Care Of Her Mental Health
Alexia 5 years ago
She could have said it was an physical injury, but she chose to speak the truth (and face criticism and hate). This will have an impact on future generations of athletes: if you feel something is off, it's ok to step aside. No gold medal is worth risking your health and safety. Best decision ever. Thank you, Simone.

What I think is more impressive is she's trained the last 18 months with just her husband in a Kentucky basement due to COVID. They built a piste out of masking tape. The entire Italian squad "holed up" in their 25,000 sq ft training facility with support staff.

Alexander Zverev Became The First German Tennis Player To Win Singles Gold In The Olympic Games
Teodora Nesheva 5 years ago
First MALE German player. Steffi Graf won gold in 1988, part of her Golden Slam (winning all 4 Grand Slams + an Olympic gold in the same year), a feat no one else in history has achieved. Djokovic tried this year as he has already won 3 Grand Slams but got beaten by Zverev in the semis.

How about a photo of the Canadian women's soccer team winning their first gold medal or Canada's first decathlon gold in 90+ years? Why are so many U.S. photos considered so important?
