A week before the 1964 Olympic Games, American discus thrower Al Oerter suffered a neck injury and torn cartilage in his ribs.
He competed anyway, won the third of his four consecutive gold medals, and broke the Olympic discus record.
When his doctor questioned his decision Oerter said, "This is the Olympics. You die for them."
That's all I have to say about Simone Biles.
Julissa Gomez pushed through doubt on a vault only to break her back and sever her spine, then die days later.
Maybe in some sports you can get away with pushing through doubt or lack of focus etc, but in others it can result in injuries that can kill you.
It's interesting that you'd be comfortable with an athlete's death all for a little piece of metal.
That seems weird and extreme to me. That's all I have to say about your comment.
Oh. Actually no.
Lacks intelligence.
