The US Media, as they're want to do, screwed this up for everyone, including Ms. Biles.  She's a Champion, arguably the best ever at what she does, let her train and perform.  That should be it.  That's what she owes herself, her US Gymnastics team, her Country, etc etc.

She doesn't "owe" becoming a "media darling" and constant expectations rising and interpretation and analyzation...now, I understand people will say "well, she's profiting from those advertisements, isn't she?!" but I don't believe it's remotely an equal game where these Media types build up and share & share alike.  More like they build up, pilfer and discard...I would have concern that a Gymnastics star would not have the savvy team an NFL QB, for instance, would have to ensure she's not being taken advantage of...

Basically, American Media & Culture is despicable.  Anything less than a perfect 10 is a failure, "oh, look, she failed, let's blow her up".  Just my view.
