Who is watching all her events?
Is she even for real? I am in complete of awe of her moves every time I watch this girl! I hope her calf keeps up with her throughout her events. |

| I am oddly into the Olympics this year. Perhaps it’s because the previous Olympics were during Covid. To the OP, did you watch the Simone Biles documentary on Netflix (2 part series)? It was good. |

And? Women’s Waterpolo has gotten gold 3 Olympics in a row and they work 3 jobs to pay for it until flavor flav funded them. Simone has a pr team. All women’s sports needs more marketing … all of them. |

Yeah, but Simone's scores and difficulty are always above Suni. Suni never beats Simone. Unless something goes wrong and Simone drops out or makes a huge mistake, Suni is competing for the Silver or Bronze in AA. She just doesn't have the difficulty level. |

I watched it! I thought it was great. Really fascinating to learn about "twisties" and of course it humanizes her more than just watching the news. I was always a fan but damn. |

| She is amazing but looks like she could kick my ass (and honestly could). Dominique Moceanu, on the other hand, could likely kick my ass even when she was competing/medaling at 14, but looked like a tiny angel. |

Are we counting the time Simone quit? |

?????? Every bit of coverage on NBC has been hyping "two all around gold medalists" in the team final and all around final. They've done a couple of pieces on Lee's health problems. She's getting a good bit of coverage. Not Biles level coverage, but nobody is shorting her. It's just that Biles is the GOAT. You don't see talent like that very often and she's got a comeback narrative that you can't beat. The lead gymnast from Brazil (Rebecca Andrade) is also getting a lot of praise and attention. She's also amazing. It's just that she's not Biles level of amazing. |

What a bizarre thing to say. |

It's wild that Biles gets so much criticism. She is objectively speaking the best female gymnast ever. Why do people pick her apart so much? And yes, if someone doesn't know that Suni got all around gold and Biles dropped out, they have paid zero attention to women's gymnastics in the last four years. |
