Where does Simone Biles rank?
Where does Simone Biles rank among the best American athletes ever? She’s literally reset the bar for the entire sport. Mahomes level except she’s done it for over a decade and against the world. Who is better? She has multiple routines named after her. Largest margin of victory. She jumps like 12 feet over routine. The oldest to win the all around in 72 years. I don’t know how to do polls, but even if I did what choices would he in the poll? I have two daughters in gymnastics and they both want to be her (obviously not relevant to my question but it’s nice as a dad to see them strive to beat her).

I definitely put Phelps ahead of her. 23 gold medals is ridiculous.

Fair. But he had many more opportunities.

He medaled in 28 of 30 events. He won gold in 76% of the events he raced. Thats just bananas. He had more opportunities because he earned them. Not going to take away from Biles but she could compete in more events by competing/qualifying for more individual apparatus competitions.

I don’t disagree. Phelps is amazing. Biles didn’t have anywhere close to 30 opps, due to the nature of her sport. You’re not wrong, but the lifespan and opportunities is far different. But for sure, Phelps is amazing.

Sure it’s different but that doesn’t diminish one over the other. And as I understand it, each gymnast technically competes to qualify in each apparatus final and the all around final. Thats how she did so well in 2016 with five medals. So there have been more chances for her in the past but she just didn’t qualify/compete. And regardless of reason outside injury, in her last Olympics she had to drop out of some events. Though this year she has three more individual events so she’ll probably add more.

Phelps is a dolphin. That makes him the greatest ever.

Biles competes in every single competition that she can compete in. Medaled in 5/6 with 4 golds in 2016. 2020/2021 had a silver and bronze, but had to pull out of the other 4 events. This year she has 2/2 gold, but has 4 more competitions. She has medaled in 9/10 of the Olympic events that she has competed in.

After this Olympics, Biles will have had the opportunity to get 18 medals in 3 different Olympics. Phelps, whom I legit love, has competed in 31 Olympic events across 6 different Olympics.

2000 - 1 event
2004 - 8 events
2008 - 8 events
2012 - 6 events
2016 - 6 events

This all day. Phelps is the greatest.

She's top 5 for sure given the longevity you normally don't see in a gymnast.

Not taking anything away from Phelps but SB has far fewer medal opportunities due to her sport than Phelps does.
