"Biles pulled out after the first apparatus having not only messed up, but possibly having given herself a real fright.  On last nights highlights they reckoned she may have lost her bearings while in the air as the move she had intended to perform (and the one handed to the judges on which to score her) was not the one she actually performed.  That is a scary thought.  So while she was mentally not in the right place I expect she was also thinking about the physical damage she could have done if she'd carried on.  Gymnastics is a really difficult and dangerous sport, if you have any doubt in your mind about your ability to perform and you go into it with a lack of confidence all sorts can go wrong, it doesn't bear thinking about.  She did the right thing for her mental and physical health.\n"
