1. This young lady doesn't owe anyone

an explanation about anything. She has every right to stop competing for any reason she wants or for no reason at all. I am so sick of the bullies and trolls who sit in judgment without knowing a damn thing about anything.

5. I hope she see the overwhelming amount of support, and that

the loudmouth bullies don’t overshadow it.

I agree with you; she doesn’t owe anyone an explanation. And, she is a role model for how to support your team while dealing with a setback. I admire her so much.

6. I would bet she has an inner ear problem.

Sinuses, viruses, bacterial infections all can cause it.

The fix is rest and not doing anything dangerous.

She’s a sweetheart and hope she feels better soon.

She would make a great gymnastics coach.
