Biles 2 - Floor exercise - from 2019 Biles 1 - Vault - from 2018 Biles 2 - Vault - from 2021 Biles 1 - Balance Beam - from 2019 She has another that she has yet to reveal for the uneven bars, because they didn't need it to win the team gold. Uneven bars are her weakest event. She will have at least 1 move named after her in every single artistic gymnastics event. |

Ledecky is a cyborg. She's not a human in the pool. She's a machine. I'd put her above Biles. She's the best woman swimmer I've ever seen. No one even comes close to her in the water.

Shes dominant in 2 races. The 800 and 1500, but she got bronze in the 400. Shes dominant at long distance.

"Quit on her team" seems to be the incredibly douchey way to say she had a legit issue that caused a former gymnast Jacoby Miles to become paralyzed by breaking her neck. I hate the term, but it's called the Twisties and it really ****s them up. Biles damn near hurt herself in her vault that year because of it. She withdrew so she didn't **** it up for the rest of the team. I believe she also had some mental health issues going on at the time too, but big bad LoneWolf probably doesn't believe in that sort of stuff.

Comparing/ranking athletes who compete in different sports doesn’t make sense to me. Biles is the greatest gymnast of all time. Not sure she needs any other title.
