I quoted it because she just had mental issues, she didn't really quit. lol... I'm still trying to figure out why she brought this up. Probably just an excuse but whatever.
And why do you think she won't be considered the GOAT? She has to accolades to back it up.
Well she’s 17th on this list. And there is no way she’s outdone Nadia Comăneci in Olympic performances, the gold standard for Gymnastics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medal_leaders_in_women%27s_gymnasticsHate to say it, but Biles elevation to GOAT status has a lot to do with the fact she’s an American.
LOL! Olympic competition only is your source? Not to take anything away from what girls were doing back in the 50s and 60s but the sport has change a lot since then. The skills are much more advanced today.
Biles has won the worlds all around 5 times and with a total of 25 medals at the worlds, She's also won every other gymnastics competition multiple times including 7 time US all around champion. She has 4 gymnastic skills that are named after her that no woman has ever done in competition. You really can't go by Olympics only.
She basically took the sport to a different level. Yeah, I think that would qualify her as the best gymnast ever.
