The Crazy Mind of Simone Biles | Skills She Never Did in Competition

[@gymnasticsmasterclass]

What is your opinion on the fact dance elements are capped at E? Do you think it's fair? Gymnasts like Sanne Wevers can't perform a Double Double, but could work on upgrading her spins if she was fairly rewarded for it. Why do you think dance elements are considered "less" than acrobatic skills? Just want to hear some opinions :)

[@albertitomoon5002]

I think it's fair on floor. I wouldn't like seeing that a gymnast making a triple twist, double front, full in, front 2.5 twist, etc and get the same difficulty as someone doing a quad Y turn for example. I think dance elements are easier to train and are less likely to injury and much less penalized in execution, for a turn you could get like 0.2 deducted for balance and precision (not counting falls) but for a triple twist you could get (flexed feet 0.1, leg separation 0.1, crossed legs 0.1, step or hop on landing 0.1 or 0.3, low chest 0.1 or 0.3, bent knees 0.1, out of bounds 0.1 or 0.3). Also you could increase the difficulty last minute, if you're planning a triple turn, you maybe could add that extra turn in the way if you're lucky and make it a quad, but no way you would be able to go for a triple twist and get lucky and make it a 3.5 or a quad, or make your full in a silivas. I hope I'm being clear

[@MrLuis85698]

@gym fan- tastic the rhythmic gymnastic is fo that kind of grace. they have plenty of all that in that sport

[@elipulci5761]

I think they should both raise the cap on dance elements and be more strict with execution, allowing to create and differenciate more types of turns. The routines would be way more interesting. This does not take anything out of gymnasts with great tumbling, but it allows to see different interpretations of "artistic" gymnastics. My dream COP would encourage both Simone Biles and routines that have outstanding composition and execution, resembling the best compulsories.

Maybe just compete at a few more world championships to get the title of best vaulter, best Beamer ever in the world at the same time and maybe try to clinch a world gold on bars at well. I know there’s a high chance of her doing that at 2021 worlds considering it’s a new cycle and it tend to be a smaller competition so maybe she could try to upgrade bars and try to clinch a world gold on bar and finally have a gold on every event

Why haven’t people with clout in the gymnastics world called out the FIG for their bullhockey reasoning in under-valuing Simone Biles’s double double dismount off beam? “Safety” is NOT a legitimate criterion for assessing skill difficulty relative to one another, or we would never let a gymnast’s hands and feet leave the ground at the same time. Difficulty rating is NOT the appropriate tool for addressing safety concerns. It’s completely illogical from any sane perspective, and represents either profound ignorance of the sport’s history, or a stunningly condescending attitude of superiority to expect us to be too stupid to remember the past or too awed by their omniscience to challenge the pronouncement. If a skill presents too great a risk that can’t be otherwise mitigated, then BAN it. Don’t manipulate the scoring.

The low ranking of the double double off beam I feel may be race related.

It's just an extra twist. How is it any more dangerous than a full twisting double back?

[@bagelized]

I think the entire gym community is with you about the skewed values of that skill. That being said, there is zero evidence that it is race related and you shouldn’t be making those accusations lightly. In fact, the FIG has been so inconsistent throughout. Are you going to also say that FIG is against Produnova and her entire race because her front double off beam is only an F while her eponymous vault has been undervalued to the ground? Or many other gymnasts whose skills are either overvalued/undervalued? It makes no sense.

[@dancingrick1014]

It is WAY more difficult if you wanna know, and it involves so much more risks. If the gymnast is still twisting while landing, a career ending injury is on the way. So since a full twisting double back is already super rare in competition because it’s really hard to master, a double-double with a, let’s say, I rating would clearly cause more Injuries to daring gymnasts who’ll try the skill to gain more D-score but fail and twist their ankle, break their neck, and many more injuries that could happen just trying to train the dangerous skill

It could not have happened until it would have gone through MANY attempts, first in pits, then on mats and then on floor. SO if another gymnast wants to perform the double double off beam, surely they and their coach would have to be following the same route and if they some how get to that level as Simone, who is FIG to suggest that they shouldn't in a quest to' protect gymnast from performing dangerous skills".

[@xgise]

I agree with you, but I see the point of trying to limit who tries it. Gymnasts should know their limits and I'm sure they do, but there have been documented cases of gymnasts pressured into trying skills they are not ready for, with catastrophic results. Maybe that doesn't happen as much, but we can't know for sure what goes on behind the scenes in every country, I mean if USAG has such a horrifying history of abuse hidden for decades, can we be sure is not similar in other countries? I agree that it's terribly unfair to Simone though, and instead of trying to shortchange her skills I think the FIG should look into the programs of all countries and implement strict protocols to avoid situations like that

[@mdty32]

I did not think of those other issues, you are right, other countries push their athletes. Simone's unique physical structure coupled with her talents should be considered by others as something to try to aspire to.

I was thinking of more signature moves by Biles if she wants to push the gymnastics limits. Here is my guesses..... The Biles 3 on Floor Exercise will be a triple twisting triple somersault in a straight position but with the hand over the air for the first part of the aerial. This will be Grade F on the FIG if Biles completes that. The Biles 4 - would be the dismount on the uneven bar, usually the high part of the bar - a reverse triple somersault in tuck position before landing. Hard to do. If she lands great, it will be Grade G on the FIG. The Biles 5 - on floor exercise - would be a quintuple pirouette spin in pike position (5 revolutions) when the gymnast does the center work on the floor. This would be Grade F to G in the FIG if she can do this. Next to impossible to pull out such a pike unless you have great flexibility. The Biles 6 - also on Floor exercise - would be like an "arco-iris" (double straight leg jumping-and-turning kick) in Capoeira. It will be a pike jump with either 1/2 or a full turn before landing. If half a turn, this would be Grade F. If a full turn, this would be Grade G. I know that Simone may not complete these new moves even though she already has 4 moves named for her. But now that she is out of the "twisties" issues, she wants to risk herself even more on the gymnastics sites......

[@deborahlim9497]

before she retires i hope she just throws all of these for fun to see how many skills she can get named after her

[@AD-jq7ow]

So how can the sport improve with that Fig rule??? How is it benefiting the sport?

[@hanssolos3699]

she also made famous in 2022 tokyo olympics for bailing out last minute.....its called simone bailed out 😂😂😂

[@courtneypuzzo2502]

she already has 5 Skills named after her 2 on Vault 1 on Beam and 2 on Floor favorite on this list is the triple Yurchenko vault that family of Vaults has been competed for more than 40 years

Jesus loves you. Even though all have sinned and deserves punishment, Christ offered His life to pay the debt of our sins. Believe, Trust and Repent. God bless you...

[@dako7538]

it still makes me angry every time I hear or think about how the FIG screwed Simone out of the difficulty on her double double dismount

[@MrCph2200]

Id like a no limit on turns on beam. In that case of course double and triple wolf turns should be down graded a bit I guess? If not the sextuple wolf 🐺 turn would be….?

[@KA-eu9sy]

2020 Tokyo. Would be good if she competed and completed with the team.

[@brandi66RN]

It’s sad when you put a safety risk on it just because other gymnasts can’t pull it off.

[@decodesigns14]

Some of you are so.used to white women in the top spot that you have to nic-pic..She is the top one currently..Get over yourself

[@teagenthetiefling5296]

I could see her doing experimental stuff as she gets bored with everything else

[@haydenskiez]

whitney bjerken does amazing wolf turns.

[@robinlayton7422]

The double double dismount should have been valued higher.

[@carch7243]

I'm sure she will never have a beam mount named after her.

[@milli2315]

Wish she’d done the weiler full so she could have a move on all 4 events

[@luispalacio1168]

Double layout dismount from Bb no possible at all

[@brite1978]

Whitney bjerken did the 6 wolf turns first

[@brenden6218]

Oh

[@brodypenn]

And Kennedy Baker

[@e2theeyepie]

That's nice.

[@madnatty]

Doesn’t matter after the Olympics. New code, only first wolf turn counts, so there won’t be any point to doing double, triple or sextuplet turns.

[@brite1978]

@@madnatty doesnt matter now with the existing code, max is triple

[@robinlayton7422]

Godwin beat her to it on the weiler -full.

[@thegutlesswarrior9488]

Ooo I was thinking about the BS with the double/double (anyone wanna bet that in the CoP after Simone retires they will change the value of the skill because they know or ASSume that no one else will try it...) So seeing her throwing a triple/double off the beam into the foam pit had me thinking... What about a triple/double off the bars???? That would be so SICK (,in the BEST way!!) I would love to see that attempted 😁😁

[@zweigackroyd7301]

Odd how the voice-over decides not to note that if she performed the double layout off the beam she'd have landed on her face. Takes nothing away from her, but it's not really a competition-ready skill if you complete the rotation below the level of the floor...

[@friendlyporkchop]

i feel like simone is the kind of gymnast to debut a new skill for the sake of showing that the sport can still pushed forward, even if it's undervalued in the CoP.

[@pyrovania]

The FIG doesn't want the daredevil talented people doing difficult things.

[@cjohnson7187]

I thinks she doesn’t those skills anyway to have it on record. In case someone comes along to claim they were the first to do it. She’s a smart girl. She is setting the bar high.

[@BengiAndSnuggles]

THE EXTRAORDINARY MIND OF SIMONE BILES ! THERE IS NOTHING CRAZY, UNDERSTAND !

[@francisnguyen6349]

I think I'm didn't know Simone Biles is doing Double Double Dismount off her Balance Beam.

[@ehgabika]

It still pisses me off that they undervalued the double double on beam. Ugh

[@dgzsefzsef4194]

Bò sát

[@zinc8002]

I think a lot about how there is literally not a single person on her level to the point where they BAN the moves she can do.

[@flyguy7764]

Amannar the twist my favorite cause I know it’s hard as shit

[@bloodrainicorn6193]

I have always watched in awe as she does that wolf turn on the beam. It’s wild how much control she has.
