games, in my experience there was an atmosphere. no spectators. mostly media members from around the world, some fellow athletes. they said to keep social distancing. everyone standing to their feet when simone answered. my heart was pumping. one media member had cardboard cutouts of simone biles's dog because she wanted to show love to her. that's what this environment was like. she kept calm. i watched her. she stayed relabxed before this big moment and encouraged other gymnasts. when she got on that beam, it's only four inches wide and she felt like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders at time. this is what she had to say afterwards about all those people that called her a quitter. >> it wasn't an easy decision to it hurts that people said she quit because i worked five years. why would i quit?
