[QUOTE="FBallFan123, post: 3030042, member: 35697"] Good info, I hadn’t been following gymnastics and didn’t realize this talk was about there … it makes some sense. As far as NBA “load management” … it does get a lot of criticism … but it’s regular season games - in a league where individual regular season games don’t mean as much … and it’s stated purpose is largely for “physical” not “mental” health. Roger Federer basically used “load management” as his reason to pull out of the French Open to get ready for Wimbledon …. but that was him saying he’s “listening to his body”. I can’t really think of an example of something like Biles or Osaka. I know team gymnastics is a “team” event … but even team gymnastics is still an individual sport. Maybe for a more similar example, look ar an individual sport like boxing … maybe Roberto Duran’s “No Mas” against Sugar Ray Leonard? Very different circumstances, but it was an athlete stopping and it wasnt “health” related. Trying to think of a team sport example … do remember Jay Cutler and even Ladanian Tomlinson as examples of NFL players getting a ton of criticism for not playing in the playoffs. [/QUOTE]
