The gymnast didn’t have to retake the beam to uplift her gender, empower survivors or to be that ridiculous phrase, ‘a credit to her race’

. Like her past routines, this one was the usual alloy of mesmerizing grace, mind-boggling strength and stupefying complexity. The only twist was in the landing, where a coiling somersault was replaced with a more conservative double pike. This switch meant Biles’s routine would be assigned a lower degree of difficulty – a tough blow for a gymnast known for setting an impossibly high bar.

The Guardian coverage of the gymnastics has been ridiculous with literally dozens of articles on Biles, while the better athlete and story in Sunisa Lee seldom gets 3/4, and the chinese girls winning medals over her get NONE. Actually rather disturbing.

Not because you say so, then it is so. There's a reason why they rank winners. Or maybe we can scrap the gold, silver and bronze medals altogether, and just give everyone participation medals. If they can do it in schools, why can't they do it in the Olympics? *sarcasm*

Simone Biles becomes embroiled in the controversy over Raven SaundersShot putter Raven Saunders raised her arms above her head on the podium and formed an 'X' with her wrists on Sunday night as she claimed her silver medal. Looks like the Olympic committee are repeating the same racism and intolerance they showed all the way back to 1968. If they repeat what they did in 1968 I hope every American Olympian quits.
