Khelif and another boxer, featherweight Lin Yu-Ting of Chinese Taipei, have been fighting under a cloud in France after the Algerian’s opening victory over Angela Carini, who quit after 46 seconds.
She’s obviously the greatest American gymnast of all time. I don’t know if you can go much further than that. Larisa Latynina makes it rather hard to win the argument for greatest gymnast of all time let alone greatest Olympic athlete.
I mean, there’s about 15 different news articles all explaining why Biles is the greatest athlete. There’s absolutely none for the person you listed, who has more Olympic medals but not a harder routine or more worldwide medals. It didn’t really seem like you were being serious with your argument tbh.
Biles leapt 12ft in the air. She is 4’8". She has 5 different gymnastics maneuvers named after her.
Eta: ig it was you who didn’t want an argument. You lost quick…I was right, it wasn’t a serious argument. You just wanted to be racist or smth
Running gives taller people an advantage, yet ShaCarri is only like 5’1" and wins. Also, there are plenty of people taller than Michael Phelps who can’t bear him af swimming. There are many people who have bigger feet who can’t beat him. Is height as critical as testosterone in this case?
And yet Katie Ledecky beats Michael Phelps on long distance swims.
And Simone Biles is arguably the greatest athlete of all time.
Here’s a source for Katie Ledecky beating Phelps: https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-swimming-news-is-katie-ledecky-faster-than-michael-phelps-answering-the-burning-question-of-the-swimming-community-before-us-olympic-trials/

Agree to disagree
So not all that arguable after all I guess.

So your source and my source both agree that Katie Ledecky beats him on 800m and 1500m?

There are plenty of sports where being a teenager gives you an advantage over adults. A teen isn’t a 5 year old. Per data, I’m correct.
