Thanks.

No. I never heard of her.

I don’t follow Olympics at all.

I get some info from osmosis.

No disrespect intended, but I just entered “Simone Biles BLM” in my browser. You can do the same.

If their arms and legs are flailing around does it count as swimming?

Given all the woke crap ruining this olympics that was nice to watch. Glad she hails from Alaska.

It’s an acronym for greatest of all time, a title others are supposed to bestow on you, not on yourself. I guess Muhammad Ali did it too.

Now she’s trying to use it as a marketing and merchandising business, apparently.

She's the only female gymnast to have done several fancy flips, some of which only a few men have even done. The wife likes her a ton cause she used to be in gymnastics, follows every gymnastics competition on TV. Got real mad at me for asking how she can really be the 'greatest' if she just randomly decided she wasn't gonna compete in the middle of the Olympics... Waiting to hear if she was actually injured or something, but doesn't sound like it.

Actually, she’s technically still part of the women’s team so she gets the silver(?) medal with them. She just quit doing tricks, she didn’t quit and leave the team...

“So the doc said to call him after a week of exercising. He asked me how my half-hour walks were going. I said ‘Great! I've already made it to Cincinatti!”
