After her several Olympic victories this year, Biles became the most decorated gymnast in history with a total of 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals under her belt.

Meanwhile, Clark is highly regarded as one of the greatest women’s basketball players of all time after becoming the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer during her time on the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The point guard, who is credited for helping popularize women’s basketball and even helped break ESPN viewership records, was the WNBA’s No. 1 draft pick and was selected by the Fever in April.
