But in the process, the 19-year-old has also been compared to other Olympic greats — specifically other male Olympic greats.

The gymnast had the perfect response to these comments, owning her legacy by telling Sporting News:

I’m not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I’m the first Simone Biles.” In an Olympics that’s seen plenty of sexism toward female athletes, Biles’s powerful quote shows that her achievements don’t need to be contextualized by the legacies of the male Olympians who’ve come before her.

Her presence in the world games is inspiring to many, as evidenced by all the praise she’s received on social media.

With five gold medals and three consecutive individual all-around world championships already to her name, combined with the fact that she’s the most decorated black gymnast in history, Simone Biles is the first of her kind and a trailblazer in her own right for many more Olympic athletes to come.

18-Year-Old High School Football Player Tragically Dies After Jumping Into “Electrified Lake” During 4th of July Celebrations

A Colorado high school football player is dead after jumping into a Virginia lake believed to have been electrified.

18-year-old Jesse Hamric was celebrating the Fourth of July holiday with family and friends at a private home with a dock bordering on Smith Mountain Lake in Huddleston and reportedly began struggling right after jumping into the water.

Two of his friends jumped in to save him and claimed to have felt an electric shock. Jesse was eventually extracted and received CPR but died at a local hospital later in the day.

Hamric and his two pals were all suspected to have been electrocuted, per local authorities.  According to a report from the Daily Mail, the water was tested, and electricity was found.

Water can become electrified when faulty wiring releases energy into it. This can be caused by boats or docks. A boat lift near the scene could be responsible for the electricity, and investigators also believe that stray voltage from the privately owned dock could have caused it.
