Two legendary gymnasts and a Hollywood superstar against a swimming GOAT. Is it a fair fight? Well, it depends on the competition because if it were swimming, Michael Phelps could take on a gang alone. Similarly, there’s no match for Simone Biles and her Olympic teammate Aly Raisman in gymnastics. However, since it’s not an Olympic competition, therefore, the odds are definitely not in anyone’s favor.

It’s a big deal indeed to bring superstar Olympians, Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, and Michael Phelps together on a stage against each other. But the credit goes to NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ ex-girlfriend and actress Olivia Munn who made it possible.
