Do you think Simone Biles will do be able to compete at the same level as she has been doing and Why?
I believe that she will still be one of the greatest in the world. However she will struggle in competition because the media will stay on her about it.
What do you think will happen to the relashionship between Simone and her brother?
I believe she will try to stay in touch with him a little bit just because they are so close. Also, from experience I know it's hard to just stop talking to a close family member.

First of all, I really encouraged students to stay away from accident and tragedy stories. Your summary is fine but you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 20 points.
I think there will be some hate on social media. although if she is competing she wil have high adrenaline so she will not be thinking about it. Also i dont think they will be very close anymore, its hard to get past somthing like that.
I think Simone Biles will continue to thrive in her Gymanstics career. I think this because at her level of competition in gymnastics, or any other sport, the athletes are extremely tough mentally. I think she is very mentally tough and will be able to push through bad things that might happen to her in life such as this event. Depending on her relationship with her brother and how strong it was before this incident, I think she may or may not keep in touch with him, but I would try to work it through with my own family members.
I think that she would be able to compete at the same level but she may or may not have a different mindset becuase of her brother, however I also believe that she may be down about her brother and what he had done so that would go back to changing her mindset in competition. I think that she will stay in touch with her brother, and I also think that it would be hard to not keep in touch. I dont think that she would stop talking to her brother because of a horrible decision.
I do think she will be able to compete at the same level. Although this incidence has effected her because he is her brother, it still doesn't have anything to do with her. So the media shouldn't be bashing her. I think that it would take sometime for her to reach out to him just because it would be hard to look at him the same way as before. But maybe eventually they could build their relationship back.
I don't think this will affect her athletic ability in any way, because from what I have read she is not very close with her brother. I would guess that they will continue not to be very close, especially after all the attention she has gotten from the media.
I agree with you that Simone will stay at the same level but I think it will always be in the back of her mind. I also think that Simone will maintain just a little contact with her brother because after all they are still family, but their relationship will most likely weaken. The best athletes can put things they don't want to think about out of their heads.
I think she will be able to compete at the same level, but I also think that she will have to try to be more focused because of everything that her brother has done.
I also think that her relationship with her brother will weaken. If my sibling killed some people, I would probably try to avoid them.
No I dont think she will I think that the actions her brother made will more than likely distracted and she wont be focused
I think that there still going to be close siblings but I aslo think she will be upset with the decisions her brother decided to make
I think Simone will still be able to compete at the same level as she has been doing, but I think she should take a little time off to maybe let the media die down a bit. She is a strong competitor and will bounce back with time. I agree with your second answer, I also think that she will want to remain in contact with her brother a little bit because they are family and the bonds between siblings take an extreme amount to completely break apart.
