Simone Biles came to Mikaela Shiffrin's defense over the negative comments she's received for her performance at the 2022 Winter Games.
A three-time Olympic medalist, Shiffrin skied out in three of the five individual alpine skiing events. In the two others, she placed ninth and 18th.
"Well kids... feed 'em what you wanna feed 'em. Self-pity, sadness... Let the turkeys get you down. There will always be turkeys," Shiffrin's post read."Or get up, again. Again. Again. Again. Again. Again. Again. "Get up because you can, because you like what do you when it's not infested with the people who have so much apparent hate for you. Just get up. It's not always easy, but it's also not the end of the world to fail. Fail twice. Fail 5 times. At the Olympics."
Mikaela Shiffrin was candid about her struggles at the Winter Olympics in her interview with "Today." And in the comments section of the post, Biles came to Shiffrin's defense and shared some words of encouragement.
