I wonder what the narrative will be...

That she suffered and overcame?

That her mental health really wasn't that big of a deal?

That her teammates are great?

The narrative is coming together. Teamwork and perseverance. Her team rose to the occasion and Simone was able to

Especially proud of Suni Lee for her clutch performance in the all-around; and, Jade Carey for botching her vaults but

Skinner is the story of the games for me so far.

Keri Shrugg was the GOAT. Freaking broke her leg, then completed the vault

Don’t underestimate fear as a driver for Strugg’s amazing feat. The monsters

Karoliyas, or whoever they are, were products of a Soviet regime.

GOAT, yet you get both her name and her injury wrong?

25 years is def long enough to forget names like Michael Gordon or Wayne Getty

Great gymnast and amazing moment. But that is like saying Jeremy Evans is the NBA GOAT due to his 2012 slam dunk title.

It was a bigger moment than that. We like to downplay it now because her vault technically wasn't needed to win,

Yes it was, you are correct. Those moments are not equal (and not close) but I think the analogy still holds.

Did he do it representing his country, on a broken leg?

If you are saying the GOAT moment, sure there is a strong case. But Simone is the MJ compared to Strug's Evans or

Unibro

I agree GOAT moment is more apt. Sticking with bball analogies (which is hard), Simone can be MJ but Strug is Stockton,
