I know everyone will say Serena, but if someone wants to say Simone Biles was the best female athlete the last 10 years, I wouldn't argue with them. I know the sports aren't the same, so it's tough to compare.

She wasn't only just dominant though, she was innovative. Her jumps literally broke the rule book and were banned.


At Serena's prime she was still somewhat beatable, at Simone's prime she was basically unbeatable. Nobody could match her jumps because nobody bothered to practice them as they were that crazy, but she didn't just do them, she got them into her muscle memory and automatic. Probably the best Gymnast of all-time, male and female. In fact, one of the most dominant athletes of all-time for any sport.

I remember reading somewhere they literally rated the jumps she does so high because they don't want anybody attempting them for safety reasons. Again, she doesn't only have those jumps as a one-off, she has them automatic.

At 4'8 Physics tells us she can spin/turn quicker than taller gymnasts, but she's additionally insanely explosive.

I want to rephrase this post.

She's past her prime and nearly still unbeatable.

Remember, gymnasts primes aren't like NFL/NBA primes. Simone is old for a gymnast, who's primes are in their teens and usually retire in their early 20's.

Suni Lee for example is past her gymnast prime at 21 as she was a monster a few years ago in comparison.

Keep that in mind when you're watching Simone at 27: as a gymnast she's definitely past her best.
That's how crazy what she's doing is and should give you a scale as to how special it is.

I can't really think of a sports comparison so I got to bring E-Sports into this. Honestly, the only other competitors I can think of being as dominant in their profession is probably FlaSh from Starcraft (considered the greatest gamer of all-time) and Faker from League of Legends. Those people along with Biles are above a Messi when it comes to sheer dominance. Dang near best in the world competitively nearly immediately, then basically dominant from there.
