In an Instagram post that has racked up more than 3 million likes, Justin says, “Nobody will ever understand the pressures you face! I know we don’t know each other but I’m so proud of the decision to withdraw. It’s as simple as – what does it mean to gain the whole world but forfeit your soul.  Sometimes our no’s are more powerful than our yes’s. When what you normally love starts to steal your joy it’s important we take a step back to evaluate why.  People thought I was crazy for not finishing the purpose tour but it was the best thing I could have done for my mental health!! So proud of you.”

Earlier this week, it was announced that Simone has withdrawn from all-around competition at the Tokyo Summer Olympics and instead, will focus on her mental health.

 

Simone has received a huge amount of support and as a thank you, she writes on Instagram, “The outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which I never truly believed before.”
