3 medalists that have gone through some shit. hats off to all of them. 3 ACL surgeries to Olympic Silver in a sport that might place the hardest demand on your knees/balance is something else.

Nailed it. Gold 14.3 calling my shot.

Not sure y’all fully understood what you were watching with those kind of scores.

I called 15 right before the score was announced.  Her elevation is otherworldly.  Great to see her win. 

That first tumbling pass is unreal. I knew it was coming, and I still couldn't believe what the fuck she does up there.

were they the underdog or were the other teams trash talking them? I get that favorites need to seek out bulletin board material but I thought they were the overwhelming favorite.

They got motivation from their previous teammate saying they didnt work as hard.  I think that was the impetus.

I fucking said I was hanging up my Gymnastics scoring spurs. What else you want me to do, Seppeku?

Watched the replay tonight and my kids were hyped. Simone is just on a different level from everyone else.

Noticed that Chiles placed 4th overall in qualification (behind the 3 eventual medalists) but only two from each country can go on to the finals. That's rough. Hopefully our girls can pile up the medals in the apparatus finals.

I’m gonna miss Biles. Damn. Dusty for some reason.

Also, I’m really happy for Andrade. She is even according to Biles a fierce competitor. One she’s happy to never face again.

Biles is beyond stunning to watch. Perfect blend of power, toughness and magic. 

Happy for all of our ladies. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
 

Seeing John Travolta in the crowd I wonder if he would pronounce her name: Sim-oh-nay Bee-les
