Simone’s affair with gymnastics started when she was just six years old. Slowly but surely, the talented young girl kept climbing the ladder of success. Having won 25 World Championships, Simone Biles is the GOAT of gymnastics. A decorated Olympic medalist, Simone dominates the vault like no other.

Since her debut in the Rio Olympics, young Biles has become a household name. Simone won gold in the all-around team, vault, and floor events and bronze on the beam in her debut Olympics. Simone was already a people’s favorite. Everyone had held their hopes high; thus, when unprecedented events followed in Tokyo Olympics, reactions of varying degrees were expected!

Michael Bisping questions Simone

When Simone officially announced that she had withdrawn her name from the final individual all-around competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, reactions started to pour in. While condemning Simone for making such decisions, UFC legend Michael Bisping posted his response on Twitter.

Trying to understand her decision, Michael tweets, “I’m trying to understand why she pulled out.” Sharing her opinions, he says that if her decision came as a result because she was not “having a good day,” then that was “pretty weak.”

 Adding further, he says that this is not the lesson that, as he quotes, “we teach our children.” For Michael winning the race was more important. Regardless of the situation, one needs to try their best. However, his comments did not go well down with Simone fans. The UFC commentator met a lot of backlash for his remarks.

While one Michael Condemns, the other one supports Simone Biles

Owing to her mental health, when Simone decided to withdraw, she faced a lot of backlashes. Much like Michael Bisping, many people expressed their displeasure over her decision. However, during that time, swimming legend Michael Phelps took a stand for Simone.

He came out in the open and expressed his views in support of Simone. Phelps said, “it broke my heart.” Having had mental health struggles himself, Michael could understand what the young gymnast was going through. He also noted that people have now become more vocal and aware of mental health.
