Yet there is some hope for things changing. Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus, who has won two Olympic gold medals, said she has deleted every social media app on her phone to avoid “external pressure.” And Dutch cyclist Annemiek van Vleuten said she went off social media to preserve her mental state after her heartbreaking silver medal in the road race on Sunday.

Let's move on!" You can watch the full clip below, starting around the 10:23 mark.Several high-profile Olympians have spoken up about deleting their social media apps and accounts. "Yeah," Mox added, "your wife will be real happy about that. And so if she is back, like, to that form, I give her every bit of a shot of beating Christian Watson."īrinson never answered the question and instead got to worrying about the headlines this would generate and if Biles's fans would attack them. Hopefully, she's moved past all the stuff she's dealt with and the last Olympics, but she is the greatest of all time. "We're in good hands if Simone's back, all right. "I promise you this much," Quinn replied. "Oh," Mox replied, "you would have the insider information." "But! I don't know if this is public or not. "I mean Watson's fast fast, so I would say he's got the edge on this one," Quinn said. Quinn guessed that Watson had the edge, but quickly pivoted to something else he seemed to really want to share. (Both are teammates of Biles's husband, Jonathan Owens, on the Green Bay Packers.) Co-host Katie Mox asked Quinn and CBS NFL writer Will Brinson to guess whom they thought won the race. During the show, the crew talked about Christian Watson racing Simone Biles at AJ Dillon's Memorial Day party. I'm sure Quinn and Sacramone talk about their work at home-who doesn't?-which might explain a little, shall we say, slip-up that Quinn made May 30 on the Pick Six podcast. gymnasts in history and current strategy lead for USA Gymnastics' women's program. Alicia Sacramone, one of the most decorated female U.S. Strangely enough, this involves Brady Quinn.įootball fans will likely best remember Quinn as a Notre Dame quarterback and Cleveland Browns first-round pick he played in 24 games over his NFL career, none of which are really worth talking about. Instead, today, I would like to discuss why this otherwise momentous breaking news was something less than breaking for some gymnastics fans-and some NFL fans. It's almost too easy to wax on about Biles and all she has accomplished, and for that reason, and also because I need to save something to write about for August, I will not do that now. Until she walks away, it will be her crown to lose. But few stars in the history of the sport have ever shined as bright as Biles. Biles was not the only familiar name on the list she's joined by fellow Tokyo Olympics teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey. Classic in early August, a meet that can function as a sort-of preview for the national championships, which will be held in late August in San Jose.
Her name appeared on the list of athletes expected to participate in the U.S. Simone Biles, one of the greatest gymnasts in history, is coming back to the sport that she has done so much to redefine. There was no avoiding the news yesterday.
