Jordan Rich Fills In On NightSide with Dan Rea:

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles shocked the world when she pulled out of a number of events at the Tokyo Olympics citing mental health challenges. Biles claimed she had the “twisties”, which is the loss of a gymnast’s sense of control while in the air, among other struggles. While many praised the athlete for her decision to prioritize her mental health, many also criticized her claiming she was playing the victim, did it for attention, and should have toughened up to compete. Do you applaud Simone Biles for bowing out of various events to address her mental health? Did Biles do the world a favor by bringing the topic of mental health to the global stage?
