I agree with you on the timing of track and field. The same thing goes for gymnastics, though.

I would say for sure for greatest female athlete. She is incredible, and I’m glad she’s come back one more time to

then how can she not be one or the best woman athlete ever?

Archaea

Gymnastic moves are special moves that you only need in gymnastics.

We shall see. She has to perform well at the Olympic level

She has to overcome Tokyo.

I can get 12 feet high on a trampoline as well.

Last thing she needs to prove is that she won't get the yips again during the Olympics

Katie Ledecky or Joey Chestnut
