In a sport where historically athletes compete at the elite international level for two to five years, Biles has been the best of the best of the best for nearly a decade. That’s never happened before in women’s gymnastics.
If you look at the history of American women's gymnastics, there are a lot of early retirements, foiled comebacks, and up and down performances (as is expected in a sport as brutal as gymnastics.) Not with Biles. That's amazing.
(To be clear, a lot of those up and down performances are not the fault of the athletes. Like, Nadia Comăneci probably wins a number of European event titles in '77 if Nicolae Ceaușescu didn't force the Romanian team to walk out because he was personally upset about the scoring.)

Not a person alive has takes hotter than a man allegedly running for office against a Republican viewed to be insufficiently supportive of Donald Trump.
