...the greatest athlete in history... ?
While I believe she is a great gymnast and wish nothing but the best for Simone Biles,
personally I would not proclaim her 'the greatest athlete in history'.
In fact, is anyone qualified to make that decision?

No need to lighten up, you made the proclamation. Maybe in ten years it will
become fact. For now, it is not.
a few history making atheletes:
Michael Phelps - swimming
Larisa Latynina - gymnastics
Paavo Nurmi - athletics
Carl Lewis- athletics
and several dozen more...

Count the records/medals/championship trophies.
[en.wikipedia.org]
Biles is a four-time World all-around champion (2013–15, 2018), four-time World floor exercise champion (2013–15, 2018), two-time World balance beam champion (2014, 2015), the 2018 World vault champion, a six-time United States national all-around champion (2013–16, 2018, 2019), and a member of the gold-medal-winning American teams at the 2014, 2015, and 2018 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Additionally, she is a three-time World silver medalist (2013 and 2014 on vault, 2018 on uneven bars) and a three-time World bronze medalist (2015 on vault, 2013 and 2018 on balance beam). Having won a combined total of twenty-five Olympic and World Championship medals, Biles is the most decorated American gymnast. Biles became the sixth woman to win an individual all-around title at both the World Championships and the Olympic Games. Biles set an American record for most gold medals in women's gymnastics at a single Olympic Games (four). At the 2018 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Doha, Biles became the female gymnast with the most World all-around titles (4) and total World medals (20), as well as the gymnast with the most World gold medals of any gender (14). She also became the tenth gymnast and first American gymnast to win a World medal on every event. Many observers consider her to be the greatest gymnast of all time.
...Biles is well known for her performance of difficult skills at a high level of execution. Her 2018 routines on vault and floor exercise are the most difficult of all time in women's artistic gymnastics.
...The Biles and Produnova on vault are the only two skills in this apparatus for women's artistic gymnastic that have the highest difficulty score of 6.4 in the FIG's current 2017–2020 Code of Points.
