Twitter is blasting critics who have attacked four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles for her withdrawal from the women’s team final at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday.

Piers Morgan wrote a column for the Daily Mail published on Wednesday and said that the gymnast should not be hailed a hero or be void of criticism after she walked away from the team event.

“But rather than dust herself down and battle on for Gold, as she did in 2018, she did something which absolutely staggered me. She quit,” Morgan said.

“Well sorry if it offends all the howling Twitter snowflake virtue-signallers, but I don't think it's remotely courageous, heroic or inspiring to quit,” he continued.

The broadcaster called the gymnast selfish and stated that regardless of her performance, she should’ve given her all so that she and her teammates could reign victorious. 

Biles fans responded and said Morgan was being insensitive to the gymnast, the New York Post reported.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk also attacked Biles for her decision to withdraw from Tuesday’s competition to focus on her mental health. 

He called the gymnast a “selfish sociopath” and said that she was a “shame to the country,” Newsweek reported

“We are raising a generation of weak people like Simone Biles. If she’s got all these mental health problems: don’t show up…of course she’s an incredible athlete, she’s probably the greatest gymnast of all time, she’s also very selfish, she’s immature and she is a shame to the country,” Kirk said during an episode of his podcast The Charlie Kirk Show.

“Don’t show up, if you’re not ready for the big time, we’ve got thousands of young female gymnasts who would love to take her place…Simone Biles just showed the rest of the nation that when things get tough, you shatter into a million pieces,” he continued.

But Biles fans stood up for the gymnast, slamming both Morgan and Kirk for their comments.  

Although Morgan and Kirk disagree with Biles’ decision to withdraw from the team competition, many people including White House press secretary Jen Psaki, retired U.S. figure skater Adam Rippon and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps fully support the gymnast and her desire to focus on her mental health, NBC reported.
