Thank you for explaining these things. It must be frustrating for these athletes, knowing that hardly any of their fans are aware of the danger of their sport, only the beauty. When Simone Biles opted out of so many events in Tokyo, she was protecting her body from the very real danger of a crippling injury.

I'm glad to see some female gymnasts at last who don't look prepubescent, like Katelyn Ohashi.
