U.S. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles stands just 4-feet-8. Despite her diminutive stature, she is considered the most feared woman gymnast in Rio.
The 19-year-old is a three-time world all-around champion (2013-15) and a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. teams at the 2014 and 2015 World Artistic Gymnastic Championships.
So how does she stack up against other Olympians? Here she is standing back-to-back with 6-feet-8 U.S. men's volleyball player David Lee:
