Maybe she’s not such a black stain in athletics after all.

Just wondering, was her alternate sitting on the edge of her seat all week waiting for Simone to decide on whether she was going to compete on the beam? How does that process work?

The MSM acts if she is right at the top.

She is number 9 with 8 medals. Number 1 has 18.

^^^^or even Nastia Luikin or Shawn Johnson.

I still do not think that she is better than Shannon Miller!

But she is pretty great...no doubt about it. I just don't think she is the GOAT.

Actually, she is tied for olympic medals with Miller but has way more world championship and pan-am medals. And Miller would have less if she didn't get the nod over Kim Zmeskal for the 92 games (honestly, Zmeskal should have gone, at that time she was the better gymnast, but the Olympic committee went with Miller as she was more well known) *edit* not sure why I was thinking Zmeskal didn't go, she did. I just remember that Miller getting to go was a decision made by the olympic committee and was pretty controversial. Not only that, but Biles has more gold medals in the Olympics than Miller. Right now, regardless of what anyone thinks about her character, she is the GOAT of women's gymnastics.

You have a slight argument with Luikin, but not Johnson. Don't get me wrong, both were great gymnasts, but they don't hold a candle to Miller or Miles.

They are all pretty amazing. One of my daughters competed through HS, so I have been to a great many competitions.

Yeah, I doubt we will have another dream team for women's gymnastics like the 96 team. Talk about talent!

You seem to know what you are talking about so I'll defer to you and delete my post.
