[QUOTE="7mmMag, post: 326961, member: 1188"] So this thread went from "I'm not watching the olympics, those athletes don't care about our country...etc" to "How dare someone quit the olympics (that i'm "not" watching). There sure are a lot of open minded christians on here that are casting stones at someones situation that they know nothing about. Yes I get that someone else could have taken her place if she wasn't mentally prepared but we don't know what happened. That girl had the weight of the country on her shoulders, everybody expected her to take the gold in all her events. Thats a lot of pressure. People breakdown mentally all the time at no fault of their own. Also in case you didn't realize, the judges were adjusting her scores because she is so much better than everyone else. They basically wanted a more level playing field for the other competitors. That has to knock you down mentally as well. We don't need to celebrate that she quit but we don't need to criticize her either. [/QUOTE]
