Simone Biles makes history again

Simone Biles has made history by becoming the first woman to land a Yurchenko double pike in her return to international gymnastics competition.
The American Olympian took a two-year break from international competition and made her comeback at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championship in Antwerp this week.
No other woman has successfully performed this move in a competition.
A few men have executed this skill previously.
The vault will be named "Biles II", marking the fifth skill to be named after her.

To everyone who hated on..and I mean Haaaaated on her for simply saying “Not this year” in 2021, there’s something to be said about taking a break when you need one. She clearly regrouped and came back even more FIERCE! Bravo for tending to your Mental health while still perfecting your craft, Simone!

Simone is a GOAT and she’s never arrogant about her success. She desires to be a role model for the younger girls and that she is. I’m happy she has support of her hubby and family ❤

[@user-oe9xe8mv6t]

Her recovery on the finish was pretty impressive too.

[@boochi7087]

And to think her imbalance was due to having too much power. It's crazy!!

[@user-jf9zz2jl5q]

What's really amazing is her age. She's 26 most gymnasts don't make it past 21. Their bodies lose the flexibility to continue competing. She has a God-given gift . No doubt about it.🎉🎉🎉

[@rangerscoach]

She’s incredible. When they explained her head was not in the right place and there was a good probability she wouldn’t be able to land properly I will never understand why she was given such a hard time

[@kcluckystars]

Maybe (just guessing) b/c sportscasters had come prepared with a lot of talk time about Simone specifically. They had to scramble to get all of the data for the girls who they were referring to and how they were not only skilled but able to hold their own for the team.

[@JescaML]

That’s a difficult skill even for the men. They did not want it at the Olympics

[@rangerscoach]

@@kcluckystars agree. I am not some person that agrees with all the coverage around mental illness and there is a lot of fake mental illness out there atm. But it’s a different think saying ‘I don’t feel like myself’ and trying to get out of delivering pizzas and saying ‘I don’t feel like myself’ and you risk landing on your head and ending up in a wheel chair. Knowing a lot about the former being a restaurant owner I’m not giving people excuses because delivery is easy and you should be able to get it done regardless of a weak mental state. In fact getting out of the house might be the medicine you need. But if Simone biles doesn’t think she can safely do what she does, all someone has to do is watch a couple of clips of her doing her job to say you know, fair enough.

[@michaelmaps2004]

​@@rangerscoachgreat analysis

[@vacafuega]

​@@rangerscoachdelivering is a hard job, and for some people it's not something you can just force. Interacting with traffic and people under a ton of pressure for low wages and no recognition is hugely stressful. Some people deal with that kind of stress well, others not so much. I made it out and now have a job that doesn't involve the general public or being terrified on the road and I relish it and am extremely good at it. It takes all sorts, just cause you find something easy doesn't make your experience universal!

[@constancetownsend1838]

She's all-around an amazing person. So powerful yet so humble. Go Simone❤️

[@kh-se4zt]

She sure showed the world that her absence was worth the achievement. You go girl. The world is with you now. No judgement was ever needed upon her when she was already broken. Shame on all that hated on her. God Bless you Simone Biles.

[@johnwhite2576]

most impressive is the quality and level of her comeback...unprecedented in any sport- tell who has made such a comeback ?

[@gstrathmore194]

I agree. I really didn't think she would make a comeback at all and for her to come back this strong is incredible.

[@TurnFromWickedness]

I think it’s called a double pike (straight legs vs bent knees.) No matter what-she is an amazing woman, I believe she is the greatest all around gymnast possibly ever! So much power. She was born with the perfect body for a gymnast, with extra power added, and has almost unbelievable natural talent.

She is just so amazing she received so much bullying for protecting her mental health but look at what the results are 3 years later🎉❤

[@SRose-vp6ew]

It coming out later that she was dizzy because of her mental health makes it more understandable, originally it just seemed like she was prideful based on the media coverage where they acted like she just didn’t feel like completing because she didn’t feel she was up to giving it her best on a day when she didn’t feel she could give her best. What media made it originally sound like was she was afraid of backlash for not being incredible, and that’s what people gave her backlash for till they found out she was actually feeling dizzy like she could injure herself, not prideful and abandoning others by putting herself over the team.

[@daniospatisserie8260]

@@SRose-vp6ew it would be important to self reflect as to why you and a certain demographic perceived her as being prideful when the rest of us didn’t. Most of us had empathy for her and respected how and why she took a well needed break. Plus any person knowing her assault had been blasted publicly plus the trial and trauma of all of that plus a breakup. I think lots of people who villainized her did so because of her race and owe her an apology. She doesn’t owe any one anything not even an explanation since when is taking sick leave & having to Divulge things u don’t Want to Share public information and not private personal information that a person chooses to disclose when and how they want on their terms? The backlash was asinine.
