Simone Biles competed in the bar final and that shows the whole world that she was not mentally prepared to face the challenge for which she had come to Tokyo.
He knew how to take a step to the side.
It is not easy when you go for gold.
But even so, he knew how to put the person before the gymnast.
And that seems perfect to me, because as much as we love gymnastics, the person comes first.
And she has dealt a blow to her trauma.
It is a matter of time before you find yourself again and overcome your mental problems.

Simone Biles, bronze in bar, gold in courage
Your exercise has been very good. He has told the whole world: I am a gymnast, but I am a person. It seems very smart to me. I am happy with his medal because after having had such a bad time all week, he has rediscovered confidence and security. His exercise has been clean, beautiful. You haven't tackled all the difficulty it would have taken to win. But returning to the fore for her was already winning. It has been very brave. You can't do somersaults and somersaults in the situation he was in. A failure can do you a lot of damage.
The men's parallel final has been very interesting. The Chinese Jingyuan Zou has won irrefutably. Impossible to reach their level. But the German Lukas Dauser, who started eighth in the rotation, has achieved the silver medal beating the Turkish Ferhat Arican and the Chinese Hao You when we all thought that the medals were already distributed. Arican's performance and his bronze medal is very significant. Ahmet Onder and Adem Asil also showed a very good level. All this shows how well the Turks are working and shows the way for other countries that want to progress in the elite of a sport that is as wonderful as it is demanding.
And at the bar we have again the Japanese Daiki Hashimoto, only 19 years old.
He has ratified what we saw in the full contest in which he succeeded Kohei Uchimura, the star, champion in London 2012 and Rio 2016. Hashimoto has shown that Japan continues to be a power capable of continuing to draw the best gymnasts in the world.
The level of the Games has been good, I just hope that Spanish gymnastics will be stronger in the future.
And for that there must be more union.
Some of us cannot go this way and others there.
The clubs, the federations, the High Performance Centers, we must all unite to achieve a gymnastics with a higher level, as we already demonstrated when we were sixth in the world in 2007. And raise not only the level of the six gymnasts who are in the national team but also all, in boys and girls.
That is my wish and what I will work for.
