Simone is now best American gymnast ever but only 5th best gymnast of all time

Here it is.

1. Vera Casvlaska
2. Nadia Commaneci
3. Mo Huilan (since her gymnastics is truly the best ever, even if her medals arent even top 50)
4. Daniela Silivas
5. Simone Biles
6. Elena Shushunova
7. Olga Korbut
8. Lilia Podkopayeva
9. Svetlana Khorkina
10. Karin Janz
11. Aliya Mustafina
12. Lavinia Milosovici
13. Shannon Miller
14. Simona Amanar
15. Larisa Latynina (only since I am forced to include her somewhere due to being #1 in medals, way overrated)
16. Svetlana Boginskaya
17. Nastia Liukin
18. Olga Mostepanova
19. Natalia Kuchinskaya
20. Natalie Shaposhnikova (on sheer talent alone)

So as you can see she only ranks 5th,and needs to climb atleast 4 people to be #1. She is now clearly the #1 American, but not even close to the #1 of all time yet.
