Simone Biles JUST DID A CRAZY NEW ROUTINE We’ve Never Seen Anything Like It

Simone Biles, once again, has done the impossible. During the 2024 US Olympic Gymnastics Trials, she unveiled a new move that has everyone talking. This isn’t just another addition to her already impressive repertoire; it’s a game-changer. Can you believe how she keeps pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in gymnastics? It’s called the Yurchenko double pike, and it’s as complex as it sounds. To pull this off, Simone starts with a roundoff onto the springboard, followed by a back handspring onto the vaulting table. But here’s where it gets mind-blowing… instead of the usual layout or tuck position, she executes two flips with her body piked, legs straight and together. This move has a difficulty score of 6.4, making it one of the hardest vaults in women’s gymnastics. Think about the strength, precision, and sheer guts it takes to do that. One wrong move, and you’re looking at a serious injury, but Biles makes it look like a walk in the park.

Simone Biles is truly the best of us

Have you ever watched the Avengers in the MCU? Of course, you have. And you’re probably a big fan of Steve Rogers, aka Captain America.

Do you know why you’re a fan? It’s probably not the super strength or super speed. It’s not the heroic quips he gives us. It’s not even America’s [expletive].

It’s what he represents. And, no, I don’t mean the flag. I mean his mentality.

No matter what the odds are, he never gives up. Everything might be working against him. But, still, in the face of it all he remains unphased. “I can do this all day,” he’ll say, as he peels himself up off the ground for the umpteenth time.

To me, that’s who Simone Biles is today.

Learning about Biles’ injury was certainly a scary moment. She hurt her leg while going through her jaw-dropping beam routine, according to USA Today Sports’ Tom Schad.

“Not again,” I thought, as flashbacks to her twisties scare rushed back into my mind. “Not like this.”

It’d be one thing for Biles to lose. If she doesn’t win gold at this year’s Olympics, that’s fine. But if she were to lose, we all want to see her go down swinging. What we don’t want are circumstances out of her control ruining her run. Not for a second consecutive Games.

Luckily for us, she seems just fine. Or, at least, as good as can be considering the injury, she told the crowd. In other words, she can do this all day. And by “this” I mean absolutely shattering the sport of gymnastics.

Biles’ routines are still so good that it doesn’t even matter when she gets dinged on execution. The difficulty is so great on her skills that she still achieves heights that no one else can. That’s what makes her special. That’s what makes her one of the greatest athletes we’ve ever seen.

Oh, captain. My captain. Please, keep cooking.
