Top 10 Best Female Gymnasts

The Top Ten

1 Nadia Comaneci Nadia Comaneci

I agree. I watched those Olympics when I was 9 years old. Never forgot them, or her. I loved her toughness, she would stare down the bars, but I did love her smile. She's my most favorite athlete and person, other than my daughters, ever!

She got a perfect 10 people?!?!

The best gymnast forever! Has no rivals!

The best female athlete of all time

9 Larisa Latynina
10 Simone Biles

By far the best U.S gymnast ever, and probably the best ever worldwide.

Have not words to describe her. Just my inspiration, idol and hero. It would mean the world to me if I mt her. She made me a level 9 gymnast. She is the gymnast. She is the one and only gymnast. Short, but strong. Plus, perfect abs!

Why is she eleventh place? Has anyone ever even seen her do her routines? She's AMAZING! At 4' 8" (she's twenty, I'm eleven, and I'm two and a half inches taller than her!?! ), she's incredible and totally the best on this list. I mean, there's even a commercial about a washer dryer thing, and it stars Simone Biles. When she closes the washer, a flower vase teeters and falls off a high shelf, smashing on the floor; that's how strong she is. Mhm! Let's go, Si-imone, let's go! Let's go, Si-imone, let's go! Wahoo, fellow girl!

She should NOT be in eleventh place we can all confrim she is better than that.

The Newcomers

? Dina Kochetkova

Most underrated Russian gymnast of all time. Should have won the AA at 94 worlds and 96 Olympics with fair judging, and deserved at least silver on bars at 94 worlds.

Way underrated by both fans and experts. Only Elfi Schlegal seemed to properly appreciate her brilliance.

The Contenders

11 Dominique Dawes
12 Olga Korbut

Wait, 25? I certainly think that Korbut deserves to be way higher...she is amazing!

13 Věra Čáslavská

She was one of the greatest.

14 Morgan Smith
15 Dominique Moceanu
16 Bridget Sloan

The Queen Of Vault forever. She is the best vaulter but she's amazing on the other events too. Also she is so down to earth and cares about her fans and religious. She is amazing.

Not impressed! She got Obama to pull the face too!
