simone is only 4'8" which gives her a distinct advantage, this isn't fair. we need to protect women's sports and disqualify her.

…it didn't and she did it several times. She was the GOAT before Biles. She got a few 10s when the scoring used to be till 10. Simply amazing in floor exercise too.

She's credited with changing gymnastics from ballet to acrobatics

Makes sense. Also - Don't wanna forget about Nadia Comaneci. She achieved more and was more famous but strictly from the videos I've seen on YouTube - I always felt Olga's difficulty & originality was on another level. Had she played safer - she probably could have achieved similar to Nadia but she pushed the sport to another level imo.

It was tough to see Dressel - especially after seeing him also struggle with mental health after last Olympics where he won 5 golds.

Hope he is able to come back stronger in 2028 in LA.
