She is amazing, all of the gymnast are amazing, male and female.

@spumoni99 Welcome!🥰 Yesss! The men's gymnastic team proved to be a force to be reckoned with! They secured a bronze medal due in part, to the remarkable talent of Frederick Richard and Paul Richard!💝 I am in awe of Frederick's command of the parallel bars!!!!😊

THANK you SO much for caring to share!💖

My DH & I were watching yesterday and I was so impressed when she performed her floor exercise routine runs, especially the triple-double (? I think it's called).

She is only 4' 8" and NBC put up a graphic and measured the height she reached at the top at 11 feet 8 inches! Wowser!

@Happy2BHere Welcome!🥰 I have NEVER seen a gymnast quite like her, and am doubtful that I will any time soon!😁 She truly is POETRY IN MOTION!❤❤❤

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

@bells4me Welcome!🥰 WOW!😁 I can understand someone being unaware of who she is, if they do not follow gymnastics or have little interest in the sport!😊

She continues to amaze me. I saw her Netflix documentary Rising over the weekend and I'm even more of a fan. She is truly the G.O.A.T.

@SandySparkles if you have the opportunity to watch it, it is very good. It was so sad to hear the critics and the things that were said about her. While she was winning gold medals, people were commenting about her hair. Ugh. It shows the love between her and her husband and how much they support each other's career. Also, she and her siblings (2 sisters and a brother) were in foster care. Her mother had a substance abuse problem and the kids were taken away from her. Simone & one sister were adopted by her maternal grandparents and his sister (their great aunt) adopted Simone's other sister and brother. They were in foster care for 6 months if I remember correctly.

@DJs mom Welcome!🥰 I concur! She certainly has had a GREAT deal of disappointments, and adversity, but her INNER strength proves NO challenge is too daunting for her!💝 Most people would simply give up with barrage of SO many negative occurrences, but she stoically perseveres!❤ She is my shero!😁

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

She is a dynamo for certain.  The whole team. Just amazing.  One thing I like about the Olympics is watch all the sports.  i have found my self looking at sports I know nothing about!  I pick someone I like and cheer them on.  The human body is amazing!  I just grateful for what I can do!!

@Franklinbell To be exposed to SO many different sports is one of the things I look forward to because I do NOT watch them otherwise!😁

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

@SandySparkles Thanks for the thread and including the men's team, too!  Simone is amazing!  I am also proud of both Suni Lee and Brody Malone for facing health/injury challenges and coming back to medal!  Let's not forget Stephen (or Clark Kent) the "pomel horse" guy!

So proud of all of our USA athletes in all of the events!

USA...USA...USA

@Pandalady I WHOLEHEARTEDLY concur, and challenge ANYONE to watch this esteemed team, and not be PROUD of their impressive performances as they represent our beautiful country!❤❤

I could not help but smile as I viewed the graphic, so THANK you SO much for caring to share it!🤗

She is definitely amazing, as are most all Olympic athletes. For me personally, I wouldn't call her the greatest of all time, at least not yet. IF she should win today, I would place her up WITH all the other greatest gold medalist gymnast, both male and female.

She seems very sweet,  beautiful, classy and talented. Those traits go a long way with me.

@cjm61 Welcome!🥰 Many sources dubbed her the G.O.A.T in reference to her amazing career medals!😊 Other sources state has become the greatest in U.S. history.❤

I am proud of how she represents our country with her indomitable talent, and concur that she is sweet, beautiful, AND classy!🥰

THANK you SO much for caring to share today!🤗

@ahoymate Welcome!🥰 I appreciate your perspective, but  I find the converse to be true.❤ For the millions of people who ARE aware of her esteemed career achievements, there are millions who NEVER watch sports; particularly gymnastics, and simply do not know this!!😊

THANK you SO much for caring to share today!🤗
