When sports fans talk about the GOATs, the Greatest of All Time, the same names come up in the conversation. Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Tom Brady and Michael Phelps are among them, and for good reason.
But Simone Biles deserves to have her name mentioned not just as the greatest gymnast of all time, but also among the best athletes ever.
The five-time Olympic medalist continues breaking records and raising the bar to unprecedented heights — literally. She recently won her sixth national title, extending her win streak to 20 consecutive victories in the all-around.
And she won her most recent championship with the help of two record-breaking moves.
On the balance beam, she became the first gymnast to land a double-twisting double somersault, and then in a dazzling floor exercise routine, she became the first woman to do a triple twisting-double somersault.
She had the sports world in awe, as she continues reminding fans why she’s the GOAT — and why she should be regularly included among the other game-changers.
