I go back and forth with Simone Biles. Mental health is a very real thing and it can affect you physically. But controlling that is a huge part of athletics at that level.
On a good note, Canada has a smoking hot beach volleyball player!

For me - I watch mostly soccer, wrestling, and rugby. I'll stare in fascination at stuff like table tennis, too.
