And Yes I am rooting for her. I’m on Peacock. I can hardly believe that NBCu would do that to us.. When I put in “The Beam” my option was “Take Down the Beadors” lol. Simone won Bronze. It was a great show though, and NBCu suits made sure it was only on Peacock. There were some AMAZING performances. The crowd (um who is this crowd? Even parents were not allowed to attend. China won. All the women did great. One girl was 16 years old!
Bronze or not, Simone is the GOAT. And sadly I think this is probably the last we will see of her at the Olympics. I love her. And as someone who does, and KNOWS, it is not kind to keep bringing up her sexual assault. When will you stop revictimizing her by bringing it up? Could today be the day? Could you maybe stop bringing it up online. Maybe some of you need to shut the fuck up online about that? Or you could just continue to call me names. I don’t care and I know myself. But whatever, I can take it. That is also the reason there is a WLS. Good morning and Good Night.
thank you for everything about this. She is a GOAT!!
There was a Standing ovation for her. She is amazing and i wish her the best God has in store for her. She truly is the greatest of all time. Thank you Simone for years of cheering and great tv.
Late to comment again but Yes she was great! Everyone loved her! Our Aussie commentators had nothing but wonderful things to say about her.
It’s so sad so many people have the tall poppy syndrome. Even more unfortunate they have the internet and more time to troll.
But I’m just so happy to have seen her perform at these Olympics! Her floor was amazing even though she stepped out of line. Her energy and power is incredible!!!
Glad there are Olympic watchers here too!
Beautiful!!
Nobody should call you names. I appreciate you watching and everyone makes mistakes. I will YouTube it, she is an inspiration for my granddaughters (8&6) they take gymnastics and their grandfather built them a balance beam which is 6” off the ground. I’m happy she medaled- we love you Simone ❤️ And you too TT
TT, burn em down. To the WLS with you. I am hear for all of it. Congratulations simone ❤💚
I love her. So nice to see her recognized with a bronze medal. She is impressive & its refreshing to see her conquer the hate. I had no idea who she was until very recently ( not a sports fan) what a TRIUMPH for all of us !
I pray for her happy retirement from competition at this level, if that is what she chooses. Walking away even when you know you should is very very hard. I pray she enjoys the rest of her life and feels proud of all she has accomplished.
I think putting the blinged out image of the “GOAT goat” was a big mistake. At first, I was disgusted by it, especially for a TEAM sport. The more I thought about it, the more I doubt it was Simone’s idea and I wonder if Simone even wanted it. Like “I am better than my teammates.” Talk about putting added pressure on yourself.
Hubris! Pride goeth before a fall. Especially when she went from the old-school sport reference of “goat” to the 1990s “GOAT” within a few minutes.
But, especially, watching her cheer on her teammates, I became even more convinced this was the work of some branding “genius” or sports agent and not Simone at all. She has pride, but not conceit. She is a team leader, but not a big shot. I just don’t see her thinking this would be a great idea. WIOAT — worst idea of all time.
I agree but I’m very superstitious!
I’m so glad she got over the twisties! Some people don’t understand how focused she has to be – losing her place mid-twirl in the air could’ve killed or paralyzed her for life! So different than any another sport they like to compare it to.
