Having won 25 World Championship medals and seven Olympic medals, Simone is undeniably the GOAT of the sport. She started her journey as a gymnast when she was six. Since then, there’s been no looking back.

Simone Biles fans give their verdict
Sharing a clip of the gymnast Simone Biles and Rebeca Andrade from Rio 2016, a Twitter user asked the fans to name their favorite gymnast.
Fans reacted quickly to the post, while one user re-tweeted the shared post and said there was no substantial point in comparing the two gymnasts. The user pointed out that it is useless to compare CoP. Sharing the post, the user wrote, “we all know no one comes even close to Biles, lmao.”
While many users were quick to proclaim Simone as their favorite, many were left confused. Unable to choose one, they went to list all their favorite gymnast. One user wrote, “I have plenty; mine are 1. Simone Biles, 2. Aliya Mustafina, 3. Alexander raisman, 4. Gabby Douglas….”
Tough many sided with Simone; some listed Rebecca as their favorite.
There’s no doubt that both gymnasts have achieved excellence and enjoy a massive fan following. Having overcome multiple hurdles, the two went on to achieve feats that are rarely achieved.
