[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even when they win they are not great. This women's gymnastics team that won, not impressive. So maybe talent is decreasing worldwide in sport. Maybe too much time on phones, not enough at practice.[/quote]

[i]I think something broke your brain.[/i] The US womens' gymnastics team is unquestionably the best in the world with 2 olympic all-around champions who are still somehow at the top of their game 4 and 8 years later. Simone Biles is considered by everyone who matters both inside the sport and out to be the greatest womens gymnast of all time. She has pushed the sport to levels I don't think people previously though possible and the fact that she is still able to compete at this level so far above even the best gymnasts from every other country at 27 is just unheard of. She has Phelps level dominance in the sport.

Put Simone next to any prior gymnastics great and she would absolutely dominate them. She does things no one has ever done before and she does them with perfect execution and power and even is artistically strong. If you don't understand that then you don't understand the sport at all.[/quote]

Is this a Gen Z thing, to insult strangers? I don't get it. It I'd rude but at the same time ineffective. It is like telling me I have green hair. How would you know, and even if I did, why would I care what you think?[/quote]

I'm Gen X and I assumed your brain wasn't working properly because you were arguing that a US womens gymnastics team containing both the greatest womens gymnast of all time (no question) and multiple olympic and world champions is "not great." And tried to argue that if they are winning it must be because all the athletes all over the world are not training hard enough because they are on their phones.

Either your brain broke or your a troll. Or both -- not ruling that out.[/quote]

They are not great, that is the issue. The U.S. team is the best of the mediocrity of world gymnastics. The fact that the U.S. won without artistry, ans will falls, misteps, and mistakes, shows this.

Just because you are really aggressive doesn't make you right.[/quote]
