My heart breaks for her that this has happened. One thing that is not getting mentioned enough is just how above and beyond Simone has gone in handling this graciously. She's still out there cheering on her team mates with a big smile. How difficult that must be, but it's obvious she isn't acting. She's put aside any signs of self pity and is genuinely and selflessly rooting for them, as well as handling all of the mean-spirited flak that's been thrown at her. Simone Biles has a maturity level that is through the roof. What an amazing woman.
