Seven American female gymnasts have won at least four medals at the Olympic Games: Shannon Miller (seven), Aly Raisman (six), Simone Biles (five), Nastia Liukin (five), Mary Lou Retton (five), Dominique Dawes (four), and Shawn Johnson (four).

The 1984 women's gymnastics champion Mary Lou Retton – nicknamed “America's Sweetheart” after she became the first U.S. woman to win the individual all-around Olympic gold medal and often considered the greatest American gymnast of all time – says Simone Biles is better.
