Simone vs Herself – Sept 28th

Soon after her previous video, another episode was posted on Facebook.

This starts with Simone arriving Tokyo. She was feeling ready at that moment in time.

But qualifications did not go nearly as well as she expected.

The problems with confidence began before the Team Final.

Simone does not do Yurchenko 3/2. Yet was unable to Amanar in the vault warm-up. She did Yurchenko 3/2. Cecile didn’t see it coming.

Coaches — and Simone’s parents — supported her decision to withdraw. It was the right decision.

I feel awful for Simone, however. To train 5 years and have to withdraw. Damn. That’s hard.
