So I'm talking about two inexperienced sportswomen who had expectations piled on them - one of them folded under the pressure and was dead straight about it all, the other, within minutes of a fall that could have ended her competition, showed real grit, got back on the saddle and won the gold. Biles is not inexperienced. She made a mistake in her first competition then became the big news as she butted out of one event after another, one at a time. I don't know what was going on in her head and I'm glad she managed something of a comeback, but I'm not convinced and I'd rather that sportspeople didn't resort to playing the mental health card too easily. When I looked up mental health on the NHS website I saw a list containing eating disorders, bipolar disorder, depression and PTSD. Real mental health issues that are not self-diagnosed. I see we have Ben Stokes at it now as well. A big part of elite sport is having self-doubt, injuries, occasional loss of form, screwing up every now and then and feeling the pressure of the public gaze. It all comes with the deal and I'd rather see the athletes fighting through it. Anyhow, I wish her well. I do understand that bullying, physical and sexual abuse are a big part of gymnastics and that they would contribute to athletes running into the rough. So I'm expressing doubts here, not rushing to judgement.
