Jade Carey was impacted by illness at gymnastics qualifying session

“I had, like, no energy today and didn’t really have a sense of what was going on in my head. So, I just kind of wanted people to know that so, they know that there’s actually something wrong,” Carey said.

...as if doing acrobatic flips in the air isn't crazy enough they must do it while sick!? I hate to think what else people do while being sick(like working in the government trying to govern people or serving food in a school cafeteria or something). Some kindly advice to these acrobats

...Masked Man is just going to step in here now and be the father figure so sorely needed here that seems to be lacking in this arena.. I mean seriously who else is going to make a stand for these poor abused athletes ...

Dear Jade,
I'm concerned for your health and others.
Please "Take a break before you break something dear.. don't jade yourself by performing sick Jade!"

Hope ya didn't make anybody else sick hugging on other team players and what have you at the olympics. I hate to say it but So far the olympics at least in the recent years has proved a great breeding grounds for viruses.


Maybe ya ought to isolate yourself for awhile since you yourself have admitted
"I just have not been feeling well the past few days and haven’t been able to eat or anything,” Jade Carey said". To be fair, You wouldn't wish that on someone else would you?

Seems kind of cruel to go out and make others sick if what you've got is contagious especially if its covid. You might make others suffer for the the rest of their lives with long covid.. you just don't know what your doing risking covid for yourself and others. Aren't you scared? you should be..I would be.
You mentioned: “I had, like, no energy today and didn’t really have a sense of what was going on in my head"

... Masked Man says you didn't have a sense of what was going on in your head!? I'm sorry but that's more than a red flag. Isolate yourself and seek medical attention immediately.. you're obviously sick!!! This is just dangerous. Stop trying to prove yourself. You might just wind up another casualty in a pandemic. That's no way to live. Sorry for judging but if you say yourself that you don't feel right in the head then that's an official cry for help if I ever heard one.



Hope its nothing serious and you recover but please seek help by someone other than your coach perhaps medical attention from a medical facility that is independent from the olympics .. you know, not olympic doctors but real doctors(don't take your coach with you,,and don't drive yourself..get somebody to drive you there and I highly recommend wearing masks and have driver wear mask to be on safe side) , You don't want to live life not being of sound body or mind,

If I were your father or the newscaster I'd drop everything and take ya to the doctors! Shame on this industry not taking care of their athletes! These athletes aren't machines they are beautiful people often with years ahead of them..It's sick and beyond uncaring to let people play sick.

Please be good to yourself,
The Masked Man


P.S.
How common is paralysis from gymnastics?
According to The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, gymnastics account for . 10% of 8.39% of the sports injuries that cause SCI.,

You don't want to do gymnastics sick..trust me... too might fall on your head...

The Stories of 5 Paralyzed Gymnasts: Lives Lost, Lives Changed
LINK:
https://gymnastgem.com/paralyzed-gymnasts/

I’m sorry but spectators and the crowd are acting like they are bloodthirsty in a colosseum watching Roman gladiators .. this is not love of life to push these girls to do all this when they are sick. It’s just not right to pretend everything is okay.. it’s monaterous not to care for the youth and watch out for them and accept bodily limitations and the fact that we are only human.. we aren’t super heros and heroines  all destined to receive the gold medal. We need to love one another to know when to stop taking things and each other beyond the limit. We have to stop pushing one another to the brink .. we are only human.
..anyway that’s how this individual feels for what it’s worth I see so much anger and pain  in the faces of these athletes.

If there were any therapists viewing this thread I’d like to hear the viewpoints from a therapist or psychologist if they think this is self destructive suicidal behavior for people to push themselves so when their bodies are clearly crying out against them. Is it suicidal to ignore pain and discomfort and to put one in the face of danger while sick to engage in activities that do nothing but jeopardize their very being? I’d like to hear from a therapist or psychologist  about what they think.

I am more than willing to be labeled as overprotective by the masses.. I can think of worse things to be. I consider myself to be a protecter therefore being ‘overprotective’ would be a compliment. 
For A healthy disease-free body is considered an ideal thing of beauty and much sought after in Greek times when the olympics was founded and even in today’s time the disease-free body is what we all tend to strive for.
