Who knows what was going on in her mind? She was probably overwhelmed…#Just Saying
I agree again. My thoughts exactly.
To me she looks sad and tired. Probably thinking about not being able to compete in the all arounds on Thursday.
Gabby is the reigning Olympic allaround champion….she has been UNDERwhelmed since the team qualifiers..The judges/coaches/media jipped her out of the chance that would allow her to defend her GOLD medal!!! Aly Raisman….comeonson?! Obviously the above commenters DONT follow comp gymnastics, Gabby NEVER puts her had over her heart. Do what you want girl, You and Simone ARE the G.O.A.T!!! Dont forget that!
Gabby has been shady since the games began. My opinon she is not the best on the team now and is not getting that shine any more.
She wasn’t dragged by anyone I know.I have no problem with what she did.Maybe it was her way of a private protest in light of the injustices being perpetrated against blacks in America right now.
She’s not the first athlete who didn’t place her hand over her heart during the National Anthem. She admitted that she always stands at attention, so that’s her way of honoring the US, but let’s be clear…with all that’s been going on lately do you blame her?
