The only way that an Olympic silver medal, a token signaling that you’re second best out of all of planet Earth’s 8 billion inhabitants, is considered a disappointing shock is if you’re on the United States Gymnastics Team. For nine years, the team and their American fans have grown accustomed to relentless dominance.
On Tuesday, the United States Gymnastics team did not succeed in its bid for a third consecutive gold medal in the Olympic Women’s Team Final, losing to Russia by a score of 166.096 to 169.528. As huge as this news is, the result, the mistakes the US couldn’t overcome, and the resurgent Russian team were all footnotes to a bigger story about the well-being of Simone Biles, the greatest gymnast and arguably the greatest athlete of all time.
