Simone Biles' performance at Olympics had almost 'mystical' quality to it: Bishop Robert Barron
Fox News
Bishop Robert Barron reflects on how sports brings God's people together and why he felt there was an almost "mystical" quality to Simone Biles' performance.
Barron, the head of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota and a widely followed Catholic influencer, said Biles' display of grace and athleticism reminded him of NBA great Michael Jordan's heyday.
"It was amazing watching Simone Biles last night and her marvelous performance," he told Fox News Digital. "And she is the GOAT. I mean, she's the greatest of all time. And it reminded me of watching Michael Jordan when I was a younger guy, the greatest of all time, that there was just something qualitatively different about Jordan. You know, he was surrounded by great players, but then there was Jordan. He was something else. The same with Simone. She's with the greatest gymnasts in the world, but when she performed, it was at this pitch of excellence, you know?"
