I know some of you blame race for everything, but Simone Biles is the real deal. In a hyper competitive sport where scores are counted down to the thousandth of a point, and competitions won by tenths, Bile won the All around gold at the Rio Olympics in 2016 by two whole points. That's more than the margin of victory in the event in the last 9 Olympics.

Combined.

Winning the All around by two points is like winning a football game by a score of 120 - 10. She has won 25 World medals (19 gold, three silver, three bronze), which is the most in gymnastics history.

If you want to criticize her withdrawing from the team competition, fine, but to say she's overrated is just flat out wrong.
