Since it is abundantly clear Simone is the best U.S gymnast ever, any doubt of that was erased today. She might be the best gymnast of all time, forget U.S, but the U.S isnt even a slight debate anymore.
So with that now clear who are the 2nd and 3rd best. I think to most it is probably a split with almost half saying Shannon is 2nd best, Nastia 3rd, and almost another half saying Nastia 2nd, Shannon 3rd, with the odd person saying someone/something else. I am one of those odd ones in part since I do rate Shannon the 2nd best U.S gymnast ever behind only Siimone but I do NOT rate Nastia the 3rd best ever U.S gymnast, the way most rate her 2nd or 3rd. I believe she had her success in a really weak era (even weaker than Simone's but unlike Simone she didnt remotedly dominate in it) and she couldnt even be dominant on her best event- bars, where she won a mere 1 world/Olympic title and had a run of 2nd place finishes behind a different girl each time. I am not sure who I would rate 3rd, I would need to think about that, but IMO it isnt Nastia.
