This conversation had me intrigued. I'm not following the Olympics at all and had to google who this girl was. Eh, none of us are to judge anyone, their mental health or the reasons behind decisions they make, but this screams 'cop out' to me.
You don't get to the Olympics, the world class elite sporting event where the best of the best around the world compete against each other and then pull out due to mental health. You don't get to that level and then let your team mates and your country down. People dedicate their lives to get to where she is to compete, people would give anything to get her opportunity and this seems a bit of a spit in the face. Again, who knows what's going on behind the scenes. I don't find it heroic at all. You get through it and lose if you have to, you don't pull out at the start of the race.
Reading the articles annoyed me, but whatever, hopefully she gets the help she needs.
