Simone Biles returns to Olympics as the circus screams on around her

The VIPs have hooked themselves to the US star’s cultural celebrity, desperate to bathe in her reflected glory

www.theguardian.com

I caught this earlier today. Olympics is impossible to avoid. I didnt know she was appearing.

She must be Americas greatest sporting hero. You are very lucky.

From the great state of Texas. Our hometown girl!

Dunne, and I said it was debatable.

She is not even a good gymnast, she is just well known for her ass. She is not a sports hero, she is a swimsuit model.

Biles is the biggest star at this Olympics for the US, and that is not debatable.

I didnt say why she was famous did I?

Cool story. no one cares.

The topic is sports heros. Do you find Dunne to be a heroic sports figure? Or are you like most men and just like looking at her ass?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Cool story. no one cares.

It is the damn topic of the thread

This thread got seriously weird. Lets just re-circle and state that in gymnastics, she is a walking legend.

If you aren't even the most famous person in your own sport regardless of reason (a sport that doesn't a lot of competition for that spot in the first place) I find it hard to put you as the top sports hero of all time. Get it now?

No one cares about the Olympics relatively speaking.

On the advice of Counsel, in order to avoid persecution by the Wife and her baseball bat, I am going to have to invoke my right to remain silent.

and yet here you are in a thread about the Olympics

and yet here you are in a thread about the Olympics

This thread is about whether Simeon Biles is the greatest sports hero in US history. Not the Olympics.

Simone Biles is a sweetheart and so good at what she does.

You've never heard of Michael Jordan or Serena Williams? Jackie Robinson? Babe Ruth? Michael Phelps? Brady, Mahomes. Muhammad Ali? If that's the case then you are not a reasonable person to assess sports figures in the US.

My son's know all/most of them. They are well under 40.

That said. TT isnt under 40, you arent under 40 and neither am I so the people in this discussion should know who they are. Except TT who clearly shouldnt be discussing this subject given his lack of knowledge on it.

Ive heard of Ali.
Who is Brady and Mahomes ? Definately heard of Biles. The Taylor Swift of sport.
