The world stage can be too much to bear, even for elite competitors. Join us as we explore the moments when Olympic dreams were derailed by overwhelming pressure! Our countdown includes Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Nathan Chen and more athletes who faced mental health struggles under the global spotlight. From Marlen Esparza’s anxiety attacks to Dan Jansen competing after personal tragedy, these stories reveal the human side of Olympic competition. We’ll examine how figures like Lolo Jones and Mikaela Shiffrin handled devastating defeats, and the courage of athletes like Simone Biles who prioritized mental health despite enormous expectations.
