"Gymnasts and experts" aren't necessarily qualified in psychology/psychiatry. Once again, I'm not doing a Piers Morgan here. I'm simply trying to look at how sports people in general confront their difficulties. The very best seem to fight back, and quickly. My five-year-old grandson came crashing off his new bike on my gravel yesterday at high speed. His howling raised the roof. Within minutes, his dad had him back on his bike and rode up our lane alongside him. No triumph, no tragedy, but the lad's as keen as mustard still to get on his bike, the accident forgotten. Are you absolutely sure that your gymnast didn't react the way she did to cover her embarrassment after the first event? Not saying she did, not saying she didn't, but I'm not sure.
