Simone Biles Owens is officially back and let’s just say… she has not lost a touch. The 4-time Olympic Champion made her long-awaited return to competition at the 2023 Core Hydration Classic and her difficulty levels are already through the roof…

Having seen other gymnasts try to come back in the past...Simone is quite literally built different. There is very little difference in her overall form and she looks much the same as she did in her teens. She was born for gymnastics.

[@Gymnasticsismyhome]

Ikr ❤

[@trochantermainsign8874]

She wasn't quite built differently 😂 Simone is probably a biological male transition. "her" hip cradle strongly suggests that it is a male from birth.

[@elinat2414]

@@trochantermainsign8874 That is a genuinely insane allegation. You need to leave whatever internet 'transvestigation' echo chamber you are inhabiting. There is a wide variance in human physiology and doing gymnastics from a young age does impact your body and its development.

@@elinat2414 In 1956, Bell labs created the first transistor. Sometime between 1997 and 2001 [no one knows for sure], the first trans-twister was created in a hidden gender transitioning medical clinic. His name was changed from Simon to Simone. They added many features as time went along. His testicles were kept frozen ...so in the not too distant future; a surrogate can be used to provide a child who resembles the original owner...i.e Simon Biles Now the above is a plausible possibilty

[@cocoroni1031]

Her level of difficulty is mind-blowing as usual. One thing that makes her so great is her execution which is underrated. She easily fills the bars and beam gap for the team USA, and helps stack huge vault and floor advantage!

[@MelMeltalks31]

People always sleep on that execution !!!!!!!

[@Gymnasticsismyhome]

Yep

[@likeisaidjenkins3689]

I can only imagine how far Elena Mukhina could have gone if she had the option of saying 'no' as opposed to giving in to the pressure that led up to her being a paraplegic for the rest of her life. Imagine if Keri Strug hadn't been pressed to perform those 2 vaults on an injured leg, all for symbolic reasons and even though the US had enough points to win overall without them, perhaps her career would have lasted a little longer. Simone decided for HERSELF, along with her coaches, that both her mental and physical health were more important than risking them to please people. Because she chose to step back, we were graced with a stronger, happier Simone. That's a win for her, for us, and the world of gymnastics. Congratulations Mrs. Owens!

Love this comment ❤❤❤ All of her die-hard fans and folks who keep up with gymnastics understood why she pulled out of the team event last Olympics, and we celebrated her for that difficult decision. But there was so much vitriol directed towards her from people that only tune in during the Olympics, and I was so frustrated with the fake fans and their complete lack of empathy and understanding.

No one should be penalized for having a spotter. Disincentivizing safety is a terrible idea.

Elena Mukhina could have used a spotter.

[@teagenthetiefling5296]

@@likeisaidjenkins3689 no shit right? that was absolutely tragic. no one cared about her as a human being, just how many medals she could win them. She never should have been training the skill that paralyzed her in the first place.

[@federicapiottoli6922]

I would argue that having a spotter on the podium for vault is more dangerous than not having one; first, because a person in the way while they're running and jumping so high and so fast could end up in a bad concussion; and most importantly, because it could actually incentivize athletes performing skills they don't completely master, which is dangerous on top of being cheating

[@watchmedo635]

It's great to see her back, but more importantly, great to see her smiling!

[@singsongeric]

Other than vault she is holding back, lol. I would be totally fine not seeing a double-double BB/UB or her triple-double on FX ever again if she continues to compete like she loves doing gymnastics and is having a great time out there.
