true. And it’s more than an order of magnitude of difference.
That’s what Nuggies said first and everyone else agreed with. Don’t know why you keep arguing against it.
You can admit that you were wrong about participation and still make your argument that Biles is better.
You can try to parse how competitive someone has to be to be considered “competitive” (which I think is a silly semantics game) but even if you only count NCAA *scholarship athletes*, there are more than 5.4x as many swimmers.
Again, as you go down through high school and younger, the difference only gets bigger.
