Possibly, but they are working at levels and with pressures we cant comprehend.
Hell, sometimes I get the yips on the track on my motorcycle. Most days Ill drag a knee, let the back step out, get a nice wobble lifting the front end exiting the corner, or tuck the front trail-braking and think nothing about it, maybe blow a corner or two but then Im back at it. But then there are those times where something just doesn't feel right, nothing wrong with the bike but me and I cant shake it even if lap after lap nothing happens. If it gets bad enough Im out, pack her up and try again after a nights sleep. A loss of concentration means Im tumbling down the track at 130mph like a rag doll.
And were talking about kids in their 20s playing a sport. There is no real value to any of it other than entertaining us and making (the IIOC) money. Maybe that is why you are starting to see more and more athletes bail or even pass on it altogether. Her career is fine, she isnt making money off this event and if she doesnt feel right its not really going to cost her anything to bail.
