Simone Biles was named 'Athlete Of The Year' By TIME Magazine ... after withdrawing from the Olympics for mental health issues.
Biles was widely celebrated by fellow athletes and fans across the country for putting a spotlight on mental health.
However, there were also detractors who say Biles flat-out quit on her team and country ... insisting there's nothing to celebrate. Count teammate Suni Lee -- who recently was named"Athlete Of The Year" by Sports Illustrated -- firmly on the side of those who say Biles positively changed sports forever.
“What Simone did changed the way we view our well-being, 100%. It showed us that we are more than the sport, that we are human beings who also can have days that are hard. It really humanized us.”“I was torn because things weren’t going the way I wanted," Simone told Time, saying,"But looking back, I wouldn’t change it for anything.”
