Yeah, today is the competition where each competitor have to do one round on each apparatus.
For Olympic bans, that depends on your interpretation of timing of quitting.
Good point. I tried googling it and seems like no confirmation if she'll do or not the single apparatus events.

they had the shittiest run one can have...This games is a joke tbh
Outrage After Commentator Misgenders First Ever Openly Non-Binary Olympian
<p>Alana Smith made history as the first non-binary athlete to compete in the Olympics, but commentators seemingly couldn’t grasp the situation. 20-year-old Smith represented the US in the women’s skateboarding street event on Sunday, July 25 at the Tokyo Games. During the competition, many...
"Mein kampf" means "my fight" so yeah she was just psyching herself up like "this is my fight"
ya heard that too XP"Mein kampf" means "my fight" so yeah she was just psyching herself up like "this is my fight"
What was strange was when she said "Ich werde diesen dreckigen Juden töten", but i'm not here to judge
And here many of us thought these situations were super small no-name high school events.This games is a joke tbh

i watched that live, Iiiii'm not creative enough to say 'wait a moment, she's kinda chubby, she must be 'non-binary'" I just thought she was a bit chubby and very personable... Was great to see how light and deft they were on that board despite being of similar dimensions to a... dugong... (sorry couldn't resist)This games is a joke tbh

And twisties are caused by pressure it seems. In the end, no matter how you slice it, she cracked under an absolute insane amount of pressure. It just manifested as "twisties."
Probably similar to Rugby, measures against "cauliflower ear" (see: judo)
This is what some of us are talking about when it comes to staying in the game and not quitting.
Remember, this is Olympics. Not beer league slobs playing after dinner.

... Mostly Raven ... Posted that she had something called the Twisties... Which is why she pulled out. Raven posted the article. This wasn't mere pressure or whatnot.
Doesnt really matter what the reason is. She quit. You can keep avoiding admitting that, but she quit.And myself and
I did? I did say that the pressure caused the twisties...so in the end...it was pressure. Very unfortunate and we need to address more of the mental game in sports...but that doesn't change the fact that the pressure caused her to crack. (again, not blaming her...it is what it is...).And myself and
she quit man. she admits it. it's not up for debate. no one is arguing with you. it's over. I'm sure you can find many articles about north koreans continuing to compete despite injuries and their own safety, but that's not how we do things in the civilized world where we value the individual
People make their choices. This is true. And people have opinions about those choices. She's free to do what she wants.
The amount of examples out there are actually pretty amazing. The Curt Schilling bloody sock immediately comes to mind, when he pitched 7 innings on a torn ankle tendon where the team doctor performed experimental surgery to graft the tendon tissue directly to his skin so he could pitch, and a bloodstain appeared on his sock before he even started pitching because it was oozing blood.Oh really?
Alternate ending:
Maverick gets spooked in the climax and flies back to the carrier. In the distance, his fellow pilots scream, "HELP!! MAVERICK!! AGGHHHH--" Maverick turns off his radio. He has to do what's right for his mental health.
Maverick receives a standing ovation from the carrier personnel as he lands. The applause is cut short as the carrier explodes in a firestorm from the Soviet fighter attack Maverick had been sent to prevent.
Roll credits.
What exactly does needing to address more of the mental game actually mean? Is there some reason we can't just admit someone choked under pressure and blew their chance? Cause last I checked, the mental aspect of every single competitive sport was part of the sport itself. And when someone can't handle the pressure, they chocked and blew it, regardless of prior successes.
See some interviews with Phelps. He talks about the mental head space a lot. https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/health/michael-phelps-depression/index.html
Well, she didn't for the individual all around.
Perfectly said.
I guess we're on the same page. It just feels weird to me that there's any suggestion of this being a training failure in any respect.
Oh, without being some expert, I think there is probably more things the athletic institutions can do to help support athletes mental health. Not cracking can be a part of training.
Ritalin, even more layers to this thing. She might have been taking Ritalin for her ADHD? But it's also considered a PED and in Japan seems very difficult to get or highly restricted. Possible she had to get off the meds which could have thrown her off but also Ritalin can increase focus which gives her an advantage. Really a grey area.
