"We hope Americа still loves us. " When Simone Biles - four-time Olympic gold medallist, multiple world champion and arguably the greatest gymnast of all time - withdrew from the team and all-around events at the Tokyo Olympics, it was headline news across the US and the world. The American, who is a sexual assault survivor, spoke about the importance of preserving her mental health and the need to "protect our minds and our bodies," adding: "We are people, at the end of the day." Biles' decision drew praise from many, but there were others who accused her of using mental health as an excuse for a below-standard performance.
