Aly Raisman reacts to Simone Biles out of team finals: 'She's human'

Aly Raisman is reacting to the news that Simone Biles unexpectedly pulled out of the all-around women’s gymnastics final at the Tokyo Olympics.

Raisman, 27, a former Team USA gymnast who won three Olympic gold medals, said she feels “sick to her stomach” about Biles’ sudden departure.

“It’s horrible,” Raisman said in an interview on TODAY. “I know that all of these athletes dream of this moment for their whole entire lives, and so I’m just completely devastated. I am obviously so worried and just hoping that Simone is OK.”

“I also am just thinking about the mental impact that this has to have on Simone,” she continued. “It’s just so much pressure, and I’ve been watching how much pressure has been on her in the months leading up to the Games, and it’s just devastating. I feel horrible.”
