ESPN Analyst Makes Surprising Admission About Olympic Gymnastics

Even people who don’t know much about the sport of gymnastics know they’re watching greatness when they see U.S. gymnast Simone Biles compete.

“Pardon the Interruption” host Tony Kornheiser of ESPN is among those who admits to not knowing much about the rules or scoring of gymnastics, and he made a surprising admission during “PTI” on Tuesday when discussing the USA’s gold-medal win in the team event.

“I have to be honest, I watched this today [and] I don’t really understand what I’m watching,” Kornheiser said . “It’s like diving, I don’t know what’s good and not good. If you don’t fall down, I think you’re great. And personally, I couldn’t even get up on the balance beam. I could not stand on the balance beam, I could not get on that exercise where you go from bar to bar, so God bless them all.”

While he may not understand exactly what it is he’s watching during gymnastics events, Kornheiser did divulge that he knows he watching who many consider to be the GOAT of gymnastics in Biles.

“I think she’s probably the most famous Olympic athlete…which eliminates basketball and tennis and golf — most famous Olympic athlete in the world, certainly in America,” Kornheiser added.
