Like the rest of the world, Dominique Moceanu was shocked when she watched Simone Biles lose her bearings and bail mid-way through her vault, completing only 1 1/2 of the 2 1/2 twists that she had planned.
Biles withdrew from the competition. The team leader now felt like a liability, telling reporters, "Once I came out here I was like, 'No, mental's not there,' so, I just need to let the girls do it and focus on myself.'"
Moceanu understood.
"For us, it could be psychological, it could be our own interpretation of perfectionism, it could be the expectation of the weight of 'Everyone's relying on me or counting on me,'" she explained.
Moceanu was the youngest Olympic champion in U.S. gymnastics history as a member of the 1996 "Magnificent 7," the group won the first-ever team gold medal for the United States. These days, Moceanu helps young athletes realize their Olympic dreams with the Dominique Moceanu Gymnastics Center in Medina, where mental health is a priority.
