Before collapsing in pain. now, some people are comparing her and biles right now. but these are two very different situations. am i wrong? >> i dont think theyre as different as you are thinking they are. earlier i had brought up the correlation between the two. and that was viewed, that iconic moment, 25 years ago, when we won a gold medal, the 1996 olympic games and kerri was so courageous to go for a second vault. she was risking her physical health and even her emotional health to tell you ...

Move. usually its a pirouette or a twist. and you would lose a little bit of spatial awareness, get lost in the air, and then you obviously are going to land because gravitys going to pull you down. it is very scary. and i went through it quite a bit throughout my career. and many times leading up to a competition even in the warm-up or touch you can lose that sense of awareness. it sounds like thats what happened at the team finals. she did a 1 1/2 vault instead of a 2 1/2 vault, lost her aware...

Is for me to take care of my health and make sure if i have the twisties and my air awareness is not there, its like the yips. right? if your air awareness is not there, its not safe to be flying 12 feet in the air, flipping and twisting, and potentially causing a catastrophic injury in our sport. a lot of people dont know this is a very common thing in gymnastics. where your spatial awareness can get lost. the fact that simone can speak up and say you know what? i think i need to bow out right ...

I think because were such on this pedestal of expectations, sometimes we just need to step back and be ourselves and be our age. >> given youve been texting back and forth with simone, i wonder given shes qualified for a finals in the upcoming individual events which start sunday and she still has a couple days to make a decision on here, do you think well see her compete at the olympics again? >> well, the twisties are something that you cant get rid of in a day. and especially not on the hard ...
