"How shitty is it to be an Olympic athlete who peaks in the wrong years?"


          

So, everything I hear about this Simone Biles chick says she might the the greatest American gymnast of all time. She's already won more world championship golds than any other American woman, including back-to-back all-around titles. Right today, she's far and away better than everyone else in the world.

She didn't compete on the 2012 team because she wasn't old enough. There's a very good chance that she'll fall off a bit before the Rio games, either because of injury or because of body changes. If that happens, no big endorsements, no Wheaties box, no Lifetime movie.
