After you dust off all the "smoke" (her way of explaining it), sounds like a panic attack to me. I get the panic attack thing. They suck. Not sure I would want to go for a Gold Medal on the World stage while I was just trying to breathe normally. Never had to. I have had to suck it up and get on with it though a time or two.

I don't get it. She's not just there for individual Gold, which her competing for that is still in the air, but as part of a team and she let the team down. This has to be the only country in the World where you can quit on your team, tell a sob story, and get all the usual voices on social media piling on the sympathy and calling it a "brave decision".

I'm going with an undecided, leaning toward not okay with the decision score on my card.
