    She’s obviously the greatest American gymnast of all time. I don’t know if you can go much further than that. Larisa Latynina makes it rather hard to win the argument for greatest gymnast of all time let alone greatest Olympic athlete.

          I mean, there’s about 15 different news articles all explaining why Biles is the greatest athlete. There’s absolutely none for the person you listed, who has more Olympic medals but not a harder routine or more worldwide medals. It didn’t really seem like you were being serious with your argument tbh.

          Biles leapt 12ft in the air. She is 4’8". She has 5 different gymnastics maneuvers named after her.

          Eta: ig it was you who didn’t want an argument. You lost quick…I was right, it wasn’t a serious argument. You just wanted to be racist or smth
