“I was sick for her, just because I can see her face, I kind of know her facial expressions, I can kind of read her lips and kind of know what was going on and kind of what she was telling her coach. I kind of already knew what was going on beforehand, so I was just really hoping she was going to get over it and be able to go out there and perform. So I was sick to my stomach because she wasn’t able to go out there.”

And that was kind of one of the things I was trying to make sure…keep her positive. It was hard for me to really understand what she was going through because I’m not on that stage and dealing with those pressures and everything, but I just try to be as understanding as possible,” Owens said via ESPN.

It will be interesting to see how Biles responds to all her doubters. Surely America’s most-decorated gymnast will do what she does best – prove herself on the mat, pole or beam. But even if she doesn’t her medal tally speaks for itself.
