Simone Biles arguably is the greatest gymnast of all time. But when injuries begin to pile up, time often proves to be a gruesome enemy.
Just look at the careers of baseball legends Babe Ruth or Willie Mays, football stars Fran Tarkenton or Johnny Unitas, swimmer Mark Spitz or gymnast Nadia Comaneci. As great as they were in their respective sports, there finally came a time when all of them realized they just didn't have "it" any longer. Believe it or not, Super Bowl champ, Tom Brady, will one day join their ranks.
So to Simone, I say even if you can't score a 9.9 on another routine in Tokyo, you always will be a 10 when it comes to inspiring young girls and boys to pursue their Olympic dreams.

I think Simone let her team down.
