July 28, 2021 Four-time gold-medalist Dominque Dawes talked with Chance Seales about everything from the "twisties" to the continued abuse in gymnastics. Chance Seales: Simone Biles is backing away — team competition, now all-around. Dominique, are you surprised? Dominique Dawes: I am not surprised, based on day one of the team finals and her having a bit of a mental block on a Yurchenko Amanar vault and she did a 1.5 and got a little lost in the air and then made that decision, listened to her inner voice and made the best decision for her mentally as well as physically. It's really hard to shut everything out and then 48 hours to compete again and I think she recognized that it was best for her to make the decision sooner rather than later so that her teammate could step in in her place.
