Show us your expertise that makes you qualified to speak on anyone’s mental health or ability to perform in their sport.
Lol, all I see are a bunch of excuses from every angle by a friend who of course will jump to her defense.
Her friend even pointed to the fact that the judges didn't know how to score her properly since the difficulty level of her routine was so high due to expectations from sponsors, endorsements, the media and the public.
Here's an thought; how about tune down your routine difficulty as soon as you realize that you can no longer be able to comfortably perform them? Do we see her backing out of her sponsors and stop collecting the checks? No. She chose to continue with the extremely difficult routines because that was what's expected of her from a financial and fame standpoint. There was no compromise there. The only compromise came at the expense of her team and her country when she could no longer live up to the hype and expectations.
