I have watched Niles documentary and his TED talk. Nile is remarkable with a great family to help him get through rough times. Keep working Nile, you got this!! Great video Jay :D

[@sandrak.robbins6305]

Thank you Nile for explaining what happened to you. I can't imagine going through that. You are so very strong. Amazing. Take care of yourself. And thank you Jay for putting this up. You are a great sister. :)

[@theCourty140]

Same struggle Nile. Had an 8 level spinal fusion due to injury and will likely never regain full use of my foot. Easy to grieve for who we once more, but also fulfilling to see you we become ❤

[@Kanoog]

Same as everything in life, this is why it's sad when people say stuff like "I wish I was still a kid" or "Life was better during high school" I Don't think that way, I think of the memories of the past to reflect and to improve the present and future. I never look back wishing I was still living in the past.

[@abbebladon]

Nile, I totally get where you’re coming from. I was diagnosed with cancer 10 years ago and although I am so grateful to still be here, I still sometimes grieve for the person I was before. I now have a disability to contend with but I think I am a better person because of what has happened. You are such a inspiration to so many, don’t stop doing what you’re doing but remember it’s ok to still wish things were different. Lots of love to you and thanks Jay for sharing this xxx

[@EmilyRose4343]

Thank you for sharing. Im a caregiver to my dad who due to health issues lost the pathways to stand/walk and easy communication, so I greatly appreciate hearing the insight on what it might be like to lose a nerve pathway. So thank you both for sharing,l. This series has been really intriguing to watch. I'd also love to hear any happier stories in the future.

[@AmyBumble]

Whats happened to you isn't fair Nile. There's no point trying to put a positive spin on it in a sense, I bet you wonder every day about what could have been and all that. BUT... look at what's already been. You're an olympian ffs and that's just one of your accolades 😂. You've done so many remarkable things so far in your young life. I love your current content, and I feel privileged to hear you share what you're still going through mentally. The best moments of your life are still to come and you have so much more to you than the amazing things you've already mastered. Go easy on yourself, and keep your chin up fella.

[@lotsofloveandglitter8217]

Some of the shittiest times of my life have resulted in the best times. Anyone who says they are 100% at peace with who they are it's not true. We just try not to think about our mental health let alone take about it. I stumbled across you lot and to be honest I actually love what you all bring in to your friendship group that why I'm still watching. Look after each other and you should all be proud everything you do

[@nicholakeeble7172]

Awww Nile your story is both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time 😊 my love of sport began with gymnastics ❤ I loved it so much! That feeling when I did my first leap over the vault and then the splits haha I kept it up up four about four years and then I found tennis 🎾 I started at nine years old and was a natural ( not bragging) 😂 I played for my school, I played for a club and entered a few tournaments, won one, came second in one but either way I loved it until my knee gave out on me, my tendon/ligament detached and my knee cap kept dislocating and it required surgery, my knee was never the same and my dreams of playing at Wimbledon were gone before they ever started. I wish I had trained more or knew more about it back then 😊

[@elizabeth5985]

thank you for sharing! And Nile: everyone struggles to find how to be happy; you're normal. You have the right idea: be productive each day. My good news is that after years of watching you guys, this California girl finally understands everything you're saying! 😂

[@colleendonahue2529]

Nile, I always believe that sharing how one has overcome obstacles in life can help others in similar situations. Thank you for sharing 🫂🫂🫂

[@kathysmith4261]

Thank you for sharing Nile and letting us see your pain.😊

[@kurtisbradshaw4335]

I also have a full tare in my long thoracic was a high level dragon boat paddler, and maybe years before that a high level sprinter, 2 busted knees and a broekn shoulder later and theres still nothing i love like sport, its very challenging

[@adellegregory4433]

I think whilst the pain side is the worst, and its sad that people have to change and give up things. Those memories will be with you forever. Someone once said to me, ' you cant change the past so why dwell on it, but you can change your present and then your future.

[@karynefagg209]

Niles I could listen to you all day, I kept getting cranky when I was being interrupted, even had headphones on and that didn't stop them!!! Every thought of doing podcasts, which is also video recorded, you are a great interviewer and interviewee?? Joanna thank you again, you bring us the best, whether it is just you, or your guests. Thank you

[@susanbass216]

Nile, thank you so much for continuing to share your journey. I feel any elite athlete who loved being an elite athlete in their sport knows exactly how this feels in their own way, yet it feels so isolating when you're going through it. It's a process to leave a sport that has been such a huge part of your life because even when you're injured or just done a part of your brain is always trying to figure out how you can get back to it again, and struggling with "if" you should. I'm so grateful I've been able to hear from you for years now and even people like Simone Biles, not just when something happened but throughout the process of recovering, it's helped me so much as an individual and as an athlete. Just wanted you to know you are really making an impact. You've got this!

[@sueellens]

Thank you for sharing this. Sending you both…the entire squad…lots of love. 💋💋

[@ultigirlinCO]

Really appreciated this. The gladiator mindset of gymnastics helps explain why I see some gymnasts ignore major pain cues. Managing flare ups sounds like an absolute beast. But I wonder if it doesn't also make you grateful when they pass? I think it is fully healthy and even necessary to grieve the athlete that you were. But you have to be fair to the body you are currently living in and greet it as enough. It is enough. If you can do that, then you will know that you have rightfully and fully grieved what your body was.

[@dawnsummers8784]

A trampoline accident caused me to have the same surgery . Have limited neck movement now.

[@spammynasa5073]

I can’t imagine how it feels as a sportsman to have that moment when you realise if you carry on your body could be seriously damaged beyond repair yet still having that drive to be the best. Well done Nile with how you’ve handled and taken control of yourself since retirement. You went through the bad to enjoy the good man!

[@CHRISRTO1]

I’m not an athlete. I’m a mom. But I was in a wreck in 1992 (age 23). I have been in constant severe pain ever since in my low back and pelvis. I’ve also had my lower spine fused and mobility is definitely reduced. My daughter was almost 3 when it happened so all she knows is mama in pain. My grands only know Nana in pain. Nile I love your videos but please don’t do something that will make things worse. Thank you for sharing your story. Chronic pain is not for sissies.

[@katehirst6046]

In my own way l can empathise. The first warning that l had chronic fatigue was a big shock: l was a primary school teacher and did a cartwheel one day with the kids... only l didn't and almost landed on my nut. I'd always been able to do one and then suddenly l had no arm muscle control. Within a year l was off work for 6 months. It was a very low point but it was also a big wake up call about getting older. Physically l can't do half of what l used to do but l'm happier because l look for pleasure in lots of small ways and l'm full of gratitude to be back to maybe 60% health. I had to give up the job l loved because l couldn't do it well enough, l guess that's a little bit like having to step away from elite gymnastics.

[@kat1984]

Neuro pain is the worst. I'll take another broken bone over neuropathic pain any day. I have crps which is lifelong and progressive. The nerve damage and pain get worse over time. I don't know how gymnasts and other professional athletes are able to push through the pain. I'm physically disabled and struggle to even work

[@liesjelualockse6377]

Even nobody can know your specific pain I do feel for you

[@livianegidius9772]

I thought Thomas Salto was banned long before Rio for men. Take care.Luckily you have not broke your neck literally. Love you all! I was born with cerebral palsy /due to lack of oxygen at bith, my right side is spastic and If my mother , bless her did not made me excercize since one year old I would be in the wheelcher and my muscles would be atophed. I hated it as a toddler and pre pubety but she was peristent And now I love it. I gave bith to twins 15 years ago, and stopped practicing adapted version of my excercize 15 days before giving birth to them. Promote excersizing thru fun is best what you can do for today`s youth. I was bullied during my youth for my gait and involuntary moves but I was taught not to give a f..k because now i move pretty good , Im university profesor and completely satisied with myself. .When i saw Nadia Comanechi i remeber I was 5 years old .And i fellt in love with excercising every day.It is better to educate youself or to do sport than staring in your mobile device.Go JO and Nile your vlogging will pay off.RESPECT FOR MUSKETEEERS.
