Makes me wonder how Phelps was able to sustain it. Competing against yourself and your own legacy.

Is she stepping away from all individual events too? I haven't really be following this story.

And bravo to her for taking care of herself. Fucking badass to step away if she’s not feeling it.
I am glad she's taking care of herself but badass, really? What's badass about that? Between this and wanting to high five a woman for wearing a shirt that acknowledges she's fat I think you are moving towards infantilizing people more than being supportive of them.

I wonder how her teammates (really) feel.

I am sure they all truly support her while wishing she could have come to the same decision two months ago.

I feel bad for her. I always wonder how any of these athletes even sleep a wink before a competition.

How about the rest of these girls, though? When Suni landed her uneven bars and smiled, I actually teared up.
