5 OUTSTANDING GYMNASTS AND THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS

1. Simone Arianne Biles

Simone Arianne Biles (born March 14, 1997)[4] is an American artistic gymnast. With
a combined total of 30 Olympic and World Championship medals, Biles is the most
decorated American gymnast and the world's third most decorated gymnast, behind
Belarus' Vitaly Scherbo (33 medals) and Russia's Larisa Latynina (32 medals).

2. Svetlana Vasilyevna Khorkina

Khorkina won seven Olympic medals and twenty World Championship medals. Over time, she medaled in
every event at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. She was also the first
gymnast to win three all-around titles at the World Championships and only the second
female artistic gymnast ever, after Nadia Comăneci, to win three European All-Around
titles. Khorkina is often regarded as one of the most successful female gymnasts of all
time.

3. Gina Elena Gogean

During her career she won an impressive number of 30 medals at Olympic Games, world championships or continental championships. Her best
events were the floor exercise (three-time world champion), the vault (two-time world champion) and the balance beam
(1997 world champion). She was also an excellent all around gymnast winning several medals on this event, the
European title in 1994, a silver Olympic medal (1996) and a silver medal at the 1993 World Championships. She helped
the Romanian team win three consecutive world titles (1994, 1995 and 1997) and two Olympic team medals, a silver and
a bronze (1992 and 1996).[1] Gogean was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2013.[3] Criticized
for her lack of artistry and expression, Gogean nonetheless had nearly unmatched consistency, longevity and efficiency
that made her a backbone of the Romanian team in the 1990s.

4. Larisa Semyonovna Latynina

She won 14 individual Olympic medals and four team medals. She hold the record for the most
Olympic gold medals by a gymnast, male or female, with 9. Her total of 18 Olympic
medals was a record for 48 years. She held the record for individual event medals with
14 for 52 years. She is credited with helping to establish the Soviet Union as a
dominant force in gymnastics.

5. Lavinia Corina Miloșovici

Miloșovici, also known as "Milo" in the gymnastics community, is considered to be one of Romania's top gymnasts ever and one of the most prolific
female all-around medalists ever, earning a total 19 World Championships or Olympic medals in a span of six years. She medalled in every single
World Championships meet, Olympic Games and European Championships between 1991 and 1996, and is only the
third female gymnast ever, after Larisa Latynina and Věra Čáslavská, to win at least one World Championships or
Olympic title on all four events. Miloșovici was also the last gymnast along with Lu Li to ever receive the perfect mark
of 10.0 in an Olympic competition and the last to receive the benchmark score of 9.95 at the World Championships.
She was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2011.[3] Her trademarks included her four-event
mastery, consistency, longevity, versatile skill set, and her leadership abilities.
