The former United States Gymnastics head coach, Martha Karolyi, once weighed in on the claim and revealed her opinion on the topic. Speaking on that, she said, “She is one of the most talented ones. I, personally, don’t like to make statements like “unbeatable.” I especially even commented this to Simone that there’s no such thing as unbeatable.”
