What does gymnastics look like without its GOAT?
Turns out, it's still incredible. Some gymnastics fans (I won't say who) have argued that all-around competitions aren't as interesting as long as Simone Biles continues to dominate. While they're dead wrong—who could possibly think this sport needs less Simone?—the women's all-around final Thursday in Tokyo was exciting, just in a different way.
That's because, for the first time in a long time, this competition began with no clear front-runner and a wide, multi-continent range of podium contenders, giving us a panoramic view of the best in the sport—like Sunisa Lee, the new Olympic all-around champion.
