In response to "The more that comes out about Biles, the more it seems that USA Gymnastics did her wrong (surprise!)" by Reagen

As someone who has a scar running down the back of his neck from getting lost in the air I certainly understand her decision.

In my case I did it on a new skill. I had never done it in competition and had only been doing it onto real mats instead of a foam pit for a couple of weeks so I was kind of still learning it. I’ve gotten lost in the air with less dramatic results and it’s very disconcerting to be up in the air and all of the sudden having no idea where the ground is. I’ve also had the experience of suddenly losing the ability to do a skill that I had been doing for years. Sometimes I could relearn it from scratch but sometimes it was easier just to replace the skill in my routine with another one.
