Simone Biles has done it again—this time, she’s not just winning; she’s rewriting the rule book. Forget her previous signature moves like the Biles and Biles 2. Biles has introduced a new routine that defies imagination and sets a new standard in gymnastics. Let’s break down this mind-blowing achievement and explore what it means for the future of the sport.
A Legacy of Excellence
Simone Biles, the greatest of all time. Her name alone strikes fear into competitors and excitement among fans. It’s hard to believe that early on, she didn’t even know what “GOAT” meant. Now, she embodies it like no other. Her journey from debuting at the 2013 World Championships to her recent stunning performances has been nothing short of legendary.
Biles holds an astonishing 37 medals from world championships and the Olympics, including 29 golds, five silvers, and a few bronze. Her record is unparalleled, but what truly makes Biles exceptional is her ability to continuously evolve and push the boundaries of gymnastics.
The Latest Triumph
At the 2024 U.S. Championships in Fort Worth, Texas, Biles took the stage with unprecedented flair. Opening her routine with the Biles 2—a triple twisting double back tuck—she immediately set the tone for what would become a record-setting performance. With Taylor Swift’s “Ready for It” as her anthem, Biles soared to new heights, scoring an insane 19.75 points, dominating every event: bars, beam, floor, and vault.
Her vault, scoring a staggering 15.8, was the highest of the competition. On the balance beam, she displayed precision and grace, scoring 14.8, despite the narrow platform. Her uneven bars dismount—a complex move combining two twists and two somersaults—left the audience and judges speechless.
Introducing the Biles 3
But the real game-changer is her new routine featuring the Biles 3. This extraordinary move involves a triple-double dismount with a half twist, blind landing. Imagine executing three twists and two flips before sticking the landing, all while turning your head away during the final twist. It’s a feat of pure muscle memory and control, leaving the gymnastics world in awe.
How Does She Do It?
The answer lies in Biles’ dedication and focus. She trains relentlessly, balancing physical preparation with mental sharpness through therapy and visualization. NBC analyst John Rothberger describes Biles as an artist, a musician of her craft, embodying greatness in every performance.
Looking Ahead: Paris 2024
With Paris 2024 on the horizon, Biles is set to redefine greatness yet again. The U.S. Olympic trials in Minneapolis will be a showcase of dedication and skill, with the competition expected to be fierce. Biles’ return after a challenging Tokyo 2020 is not just about competing; it’s about making history.
Her new routines, including the Biles 3, solidify her status as the GOAT. With gymnastics scheduled between July 27th and August 5th in Paris, Biles is poised to push the boundaries of human achievement once more.
