Whenever Simon Bales enters the gym, the Olympics or the World Championships, she immediately draws the most attention to it.

Today (Tuesday), in contrast to the headlines about her past achievements and victories, everyone who watches the Tokyo Games is busy with her mysterious retirement from the team finals.

Is this a mental problem?

Is she injured?

And most importantly - what will happen to her participation in the final battle, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday at 13:50.



The American Gymnastics Association has issued an official statement, in which it clarified that this is a medical problem, but only exacerbated the mystery.

"Simon Bales has retired from the group gymnastics finals due to a medical problem. She will undergo further tests to see if she will be fit to continue the competitions," read a statement that effectively left the doubt about her appearance at the record event.

The union's statement contradicts the words of her coach, who confirmed that it was not an injury, but a "mental problem," as he defined it.

These things connect to a post she posted yesterday on Instagram, in which she wrote "I feel like the weight of the whole world is on my shoulders. I know it looks like I've waving the pressure off and not letting it affect me, but sometimes it's really hard."



And what did Bailes have to say?

The gymnast explained that "she is dealing with internal things that will work out in the next two days. It only strengthens us. I intend to participate in my final on Thursday."
