Simone is not great because she is black. She is great because she was gifted with a perfect body, and she had fabulous coaching from day one, But the reason Simone is the greastes of all time is because of her discipline, persistence, courage. She sets goals, protects her body both physically and mentally. Simone is great because she works super hard and deserves all of it
Yes She is “GIFTED” BY GOD!!!!!!!!!! “BUT” GOD “IS” ALSO RAINING UP BLACK Peoples “BECAUSE” IT’S Our SEASON!!!!!!!!!! & IT’S BECAUSE We’re BLACK, & She’s BLACK THAT GOd “IS” DOING THIS FOR BLACK Peoples. (“The Last Shall be First, and The First Shall be Last”) THAT’S BIBLE! ❤️.
@gwendolynforges9040 no mam. You need to do some deep soul searching on that one. You are not different from any other human. You are not some extra race, we are all humans and God loves His people and absolutely DOES NOT favor one race over another. I will pray for you.
@@SquirtlePower809amazing how when black people say we are favored, whether you believe it or not, whether it is true or not, it is then race doesn’t exist. Well why didn’t we have slaves of all races. Just stop it. Simone is great because of hard work, discipline, focus, and God given attributes ❤
She gets up to 12 feet in the air on her first tumbling pass. I think she is 4 foot 8 inches tall. She is 27 years old and one of the oldest gymnasts out there and the best too!
Yes that’s how tall she is, a small package of dynamite, all muscles. I always love watching her preform, the unbelievable this she’s able to do, & usually without any mistakes too.
And in a sport with an incredibly racist and controversial history, she's someone every young black girl who loves gymnastics can look up to. She's incredible
Being a black man, you have every right to be proud of Simone. She is fantastic. I love watching her. I'm proud of her for being female and America. I read she's 4'8". Just a little peanut but so strong!!
Which black women were shamed in team USA? The only big criticism was towards Gabby Douglas and it came from black women posting about how she didn't know how to do her hair. Since 1992 there hasn't been an 'all white' team USA. Except for 2008...but that squad had a foreign born immigrant in their ranks😅 this year, there are more women of colour on the team than yt ones. Sometimes people just say things that get likes but it's never set in reality and never comes from a place of verifiable facts. It's another phrase that gets yelled down the echo chamber of social media.
@@roddo1955 I'm not just talking about in Olympic gymnastics, I'm talking about USA Gymnastics as a whole. Team USA sure it's been diverse, but there have been a lot of cases of racism in amateur gymnastics. Jordan Chiles has literally spoken out about the fact that she almost quit because of the racism she experienced as a child at her local gym. It's not an isolated experience either.
She is so compact and powerful: she does tumbling passes and vaults that nobody else can even complete, and she has to hold back so as not to overpower them and OVERrotate. And you're not "playing the race card": representation matters. If you never see someone like you do something, you can't visualize it for yourself. Gabby, Simone, Suni... they've put faces to lots of dreams. Simone leads by example in and out of the gym. She's not just a dedicated athlete, she's a mentor, she's opened up the conversation on mental health in sports... she's a role model for anyone who wants to be the best human being they can be.
Simone is the most decorated gymist both male and female and her difficulty in her routines is one of the reasons she is considered the Goat. She also has 4 skills named after her.
Simone is so good and her routines are so hard that she can fall on a landing (something that usually destroys any chance at a good finish) and still rank top 3. She is literally in a league of her own. She has 2 moves named after her, and there is speculation that there may be a 3rd coming soon.
She actually has 5 moves named after her; 2 on the floor, 2 on the vault, and 1 on the beam. So far, only 1 has been tried in competition by another gymnast, and that was done by another young, Black gymnast.
Compared to other gymnasts, she lacks artistry, but she is already developing in this. Her routines are the most difficult in the world, but there's only a few grace in the dance parts.
She literally won gold at 2018 world championships with two falls and competing with kidney stones. That was probably the worst competition of her life and she was still the best in the world, even at her worst, which is crazy.
@@oszivlogs2560She doesn't lack artistry. Her floor routine has plenty of flourishes which she executes very well. Perhaps some girls have more artistry but to say she has a "lack" would be incorrect.
@@annecerrano263 I didn't say that there is a complete lack of artistry in her exercises, but that the choreographies are often poor, such as this year or in 2019. Last year's, 2015's, and 2018's were the best, they matched her.
Simone Biles is possibly the greatest athlete alive. She is sooooooo far ahead of any other gymnast it's insane. The greatest men in the world can't do what she does.
She is certainly the greatest gymnast of all time, man or woman. You can not say the greatest athlete as abilities between sports differ so much. Michael Phelps is a great example. Best swimmer of all time and most Olympic medals of all time I believe.
@hayleylorenzo6709 Gymnastics is far more complex than swimming. It's far more dangerous too. Phelps swims fast. That's all he has to do in every race is swim fast. Usain Bolt is fast but all he has to remember to do is run fast. Gymnasts have to have so many different skills.
She’s a 4’8” powerhouse. She has so much power on her floor routine. She’s struggle staying in bounds. She’s doing stuff on routines. Nobody else is doing. Yes that was her husband talking about not knowing who she was
Yes, the power is there, but I don't find grace in this routine, and most of hers. Last years fx, and also the 2015 and 2018 ones have musicality, but most of the time she lacks it.
On day 2 her first tumbling pass - the triple twisting double flip - she went 12 feet in the air which is higher than an NBA basketball hoop. Lebron would have to jump 16 feet in the air to compare the height she gets
lol it’s also the force and the velocity of her speed going up in the air . But still impressive. But LEBRON has jumped off one leg w his head above the rim only 8 ft away from the rim in his prime . Again both impressive
Former gymnast here...If you see a green arrow/triangle next to the final score, it means that it's in the upper scoring on average for that season. Kinda like a stop light bc you'll also see yellow and red. The "difficulty" score will change based on how had the moves are in the routine (they go in with a set difficultly score based on what is expected for them to perform and each gymnast will choose moves to increase this score - it's basically a start value). The "execution" score is how well they perform the routine. It's based of of 10 and points are taken away based on different criteria. Hops/steps on landings, falls, out of bounds, break in form (bent knees, leg separation, balance checks/wobbles, etc). That's the basics of it. It's more complicated than that bc different moves give you different points but yeah. Simone is on the small side even for a gymnast. She's 4'8". For perspective, the tallest gymnast on this year's Olympic team for the US is 5'2".
This was not her best, but she is still consistently better than any other gymnast because her level of difficulty is so high. That she is able to accomplish all of this at 27, which is old for a competitive gymnast, is remarkable. She does have a tendency to step out of bounds because of how powerful she is at tumbling. She gets so much speed and height. Oh, and she is 4'8" tall! Fantastic reaction! As a woman of color, I would have loved to grow up looking up to someone like Simone, who is not only the GOAT, but humble and gracious.
She is the most decorated gymnast ever, male or female, in the world! She currently has 37 world and Olympic titles. Most of which are GOLD! That doesn't even include every national title she's held or currently holds!
The white line is the boundary on the floor. If they go over it’s a deduction. Simone is known to go out of bounds because she is so freaking powerful yet elegant too. She floats her tumbles and that’s hard to do. I’ve seen videos of how she trains and she isn’t all upper body. Her legs look small but it’s like she has springs in them! And this wasn’t her best competition either! I’d bet she’s going to be even more on fire in Paris. Can’t wait to see this team compete. ❤
Simone is 4 foot, 8 inches. The U.S. women's team this year are 2 black women, 1 white, 1 asian, and 1 hispanic. The men's team has Frederick Richard. Lot's to see at the Olympics, check out Sha'Carri Richardson and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Also, Simone married Jonathan Owen's, an NFL player, and her fans got a little butt hurt when they found out he didn't know who Simone was when he met her,😅😅
The reason they are mad is because he was tweeting about gabby Douglas in 2012, gabby Douglas won the all around, so if he knew gabby Douglas he must’ve known who Simone biles was, also Simone started competing internationally right after 2012 so there’s now way he didn’t know her
@user-oi8bt6kh3w rationally speaking,how do yk if you don’t know him? Like I said in the vid , the only reason ik of gabby when she was the topic is bc I’m black and I seen her being advertised on BET network . Not bc I watched gymnastics I didn’t hear about Simone biles until a lot later 🤷🏿♂️
@@JTheUltra I completely understand and you do have a point, I guess I should have clarified that he was tweeting about her during the all around final which was August 2nd 2012 when these tweets where posted and he was commenting about the literal things she was doing.
@@JTheUltra Yup, he's a football guy so why would he? But you know how fans can be, they just can't understand how everybody doesn't know all about their hero.
Gabby Douglas was never considered the GOAT. She was the first black Olympic All-Around Champion. The first talk about GOAT was with Simone... because she ridiculous in comparison to anything we've every seen. That and her THIRTY SEVEN world and Olympic medals.
Her difficulty level is so high she can fall and still win She is so powerful she has to rein it back so she doesn’t go out of bounds or over rotate on a move that no other gymnast can even do. She may be little but she is mighty. Just one big muscle.
Glad to see more men appreciating female athletes! Got to give Simone her flowers, she’s an absolutely brilliant athlete and such inspiring dedication, too.
Is she legit? Go watch every competition she's been in and there's your answer. Of course she's legit and this inspirational young lady is breaking records, pushing the limit of what the human body can do and paving the way for future gymnasts. She is absolutely phenomenal and legendary!!!
She wasn't happy with her beam you could tell from the look on her face she said she was so angry at herself. She's 4'8 she's teeny tiny. She's got a strong upper body but her legs are very strong also.
If you want to understand scoring. A basic way to explain it is that they are scored on execution and difficulty. Difficulty is open-ended and based on the skills that gymnasts do. The skills are in the code of points and have a point value assigned to each one. Execution is out of 10.0, and it is based on how the gymnast performs their routine. Flexed feet, less than 180° splits, wobbles, hops on landings, going out of bounds, bent legs, falls, etc. result in deductions. There's a lot of playing with risk vs. reward for gymnasts. You can do more difficult skills, but deductions can make it not worth it to do. So, a gymnast might have less difficulty but higher execution. Simone is one of those who has high difficulty and high execution.
When was Gabby Douglas ever considered the best of the greatest of all times cuz that's never been true she was the first African-American female to win a gold medal in gymnastics but I've never heard anybody say she was the greatest I wish she had to went on and hung in there and came on back cuz I believe she could have done it she just gave up on herself too easy
I am a white woman and I look up to her. I understand that she is a great role model for young black girls. but she is also a great role model for every child no matter how much Melanin they may or may not have.
I'm not black, but personally I think, talking about Simone's race isn't just "playing the race card" or even only about black pride. For the entire history of this sport, it's been the sole province of willowy white teenagers. Here is this STRONG, hardworking, talented black woman just REVOLUTIONIZING the entire sport, not just as far as racial or body positive representation, but even taking those things away - she's blown EVERYONE out of the water and fundamentally raised the standard of competition. It's worth celebrating her as a black woman who eats glass ceiling for breakfast, I think.
this is the only sport besides from figure skating i like to watch but i only watched few things and when you look at other gymnasts it´s like crossing your fingers that they wont trip of loose balance it´s always like that and all of them move the same way. but then there is Simone and i remember when i first saw her. it was so powerful and controlled than anyone else and her ballance is of the roofs. it´s like yes now it´s simones turn and she will kill it as usual you feel entertained and in aww rather than scared. the hight she has on her jumps is so wild. i do not knowing the tecniqual terms i just enjoy watching it. i see something unique with simone
At Nationals this year, her difficulty was so high that with a 1 pt deduction on pummel since she literally sat down and still beat everyone's else's score. I think she was doing the move named after her
White gal here… dude, have you been living under a rock the last decade or so? Simone Biles is the GOAT! Mary Lou Retton, Shannon Miller, Gabby Douglas - those girls cannot hold a candle to Biles. She takes incredibly dangerous risks (that are sometimes meant for men) and makes it all look so easy. Her knees and ankles are always together, her twists and flips are so tight, and the incredible amount of air beneath her is insane! What can you say about an athlete who has moves named after her? I believe I’m right in saying that one of her moves is rated a J… at first it was rated a G (most difficult) or something, but the degree of difficulty is so insane that the gymnastics committee had to skip a couple of letters to adjust for it. Her layouts are breathtaking and when she nails a wolf turn, it’s a thing of beauty. You are the only person I’ve ever heard of whether black, white, purple or whatever who has not heard of Simone Biles. You do not, however, have to be black to adore her. We all do… her work ethic, her mad skills, her grace & beauty under pressure, and her heart have made her the most decorated gymnast of all time. Look at the leg, butt, and shoulder muscles on her - yeah, she works hard. And yes, she’s only 4’8”. She is truly a work of art.
im white and love Simone, she worked damn hard to get where she is and deserves all the medals, praises and accolades!! She truly is the GOAT. Truly gifted and talented young lady :)
You’re so right about being scared as a family member. My son did high school gymnastics, and he had an incident on rings about 15 years ago that still makes me shudder a bit when I think about it. He was warming up, and one of the rings came loose while he was upside down. He dropped straight down, head first, and don’t come back up for a minute or two. II thought he broke his neck. Watching him compete after that was a heart in my mouth experience every time.
I would say more muscle memory than instinct. She had amazing natural talent from the beginning but honed it to perfection with constant practice. Her dedication makes her the GOAT
Simone's backstory - Lifetime did a movie on her. Because the simple truth is it was pure chance that she was noticed as a little girl. I won't talk about the movie so as not to spoil it, but I do recommend watching the movie. Also if you recall - the Doctor that was sexually abusing gymnasts... Well, while it isn't openly talked about and something the girls were under NDA's or lose their spot on the US Team. It is small wonder that many girls on the US Team came and went, when you consider the trauma they were exposed to. Simone herself stepped away from competing for 2 years with mental health, and what gymnasts call 'the twisties'. During that time she got married to her NFL playing hubby, so someone that understands that passion and drive that pushes her. You will see him throughout videos of her comeback competitions.
Great reaction 👌Gabby opened up the sport to include more races and honestly - body sizes. It used to be all pasty thin white girls. Now coaches and judges look at the skill, not just appearance, and even as a white lady who was average in gymnastics, it makes me proud of the sport. simone is a beast! I also love Suni Lee.❤
Y’all need to put some respect on Betty Okino’s name. She predated Simone, Gabby, even Dominique Dawes, & was a national balance beam champion, the first black woman from any country to win multiple world medals, & part of the group that won America’s first team medal at a fully-attended Olympics in ‘92.
About the tumbling, I quit competing/gymnastics when I hit 5’6. It definitely isn’t made in favor of tall women. I’d completely ruined my knees and shoulders by the time I was in my mid teens. I’m amazed with Simon bc she was allegedly in a lot of pain while competing n still did beautifully
I admire great athletes no matter their culture and Gabby Douglas and Simone are great role models for everyone but especially black girls who want to compete in a sport that had a lot of ingrained racism not so long ago. These role models are even better when they are also good people. I even admit as a white guy that I might favor a white athlete in sports where we aren't often represented at elite levels such as track and field or basketball.
I enjoyed watching this with you. Don't worry you did a good job. What else can I say besides, Simone is the GOAT. Incredible athlete and human. The height she gets on every apparatus is insane! My favorite is her floor routine, lil ball of fire ❤
You also just happened to pick a video where she had a bad night on the beam. That is very rare for her. She almost always hits the beam perfectly on all her skills.
Simone has 2 vaults in her name no other woman has competed. A beam dismount in her name no one on earth can currently do. 2 moves on floor in her name, the 2nd one no woman has ever done in competition. In every All Around competition she has participated in since 2013 Worlds she has won. Watching her once is good but it's hard to REALLY understand until you look at her long term accomplishments. She gets credit but I think because people don't follow gymnastics they don't realize just how incredible she actually is.
Simone does the MOST difficult and DANGEROUS moves in world. Her vault alone could paralyze someone if they didn't have the skill to do it. That first vault was only done by men becuase you need so much strength to do it and land properly without breaking your legs
OK for scoring. Anything in the mid to upper 14s is good. Anything in the 15s is very good to upper 15s. Great. Anything over 16 is amazing and anything in the 17’s or above is earth shattering nobody else in the world can do it. Also, this is not her at her best. Athletes like this train to peak at specific competitions so she’s training to be in peak form by Paris. As for racism in gymnastics, it is still very prevalent. An Irish gymnast last year was not given a medal because of the color of her skin. Simone actually stepped in. Absolutely outrageous.
So bars is her WEAKEST event, right? And yet she still is EASILY top 2 or 3 in the USA and she STILL makes it to the finals at worlds championships in bars...imagine being sooooo good that even your "weak" event is still world class!!
Yes, Simone is very small. She is only 4 ft. 8 in. She and Kerri Strug are the two shortest to ever represent the US in the Olympics. In general, though, gymnasts need to be short (the majority of female gymnasts are under 5 ft. 2 in.) because shorter people are more aerodynamic. They have lesser inertia and a lower center of gravity, which all makes it much easier for them to jump higher, flip, and tumble with more precision and ease and have a much more stable landing since they are closer to the ground than a tall person.
I completely agree with what you said about it being amazing what the body can do. That's one of the main reasons I follow gymnastics. I enjoy watching other sports too, so no disrespect to them, but gymnastics hits different. Most people can run and most people can catch a ball, even though some are definitely better than others. Most people cannot do what these gymnasts do. Fyi, men's gymnastics has different events, so you should check some of them out too. USA hasn't really had any men who can win at a global level in a decade or two, so maybe check out some of the other countries' men lol. I haven't read the comments, so idk what else has already been covered. There are 3 parts to a modern gymnastics score at the pro/elite (not college) level: the "start value," which is sort of like bonus points based on the difficulty of what you're doing; the execution scores, which measures how well you did it; and the total score, which is a combo of the other 2. The execution score starts at 10 and gets reduced for each issue the judges see, whereas the start value starts at 0 and goes up for each added element. So a score of 10 or lower at this level (again, college is different) means something has gone very wrong. Most of the start values at the Olympics will probably be somewhere between a 4.5 and a 5.9, so scores of 14 and 15 are pretty solid. Simone Biles is the GOAT because, as you noticed, she's tiny at 4'8", but she's insanely powerful in ways that defy logic. When it comes to vaults and tumbling, you're limited in how many twists and flips you can do and still land safely by how high you go into the air and how long you stay there. You can't keep flipping an inch from the ground and hope for the best. Since she's so tiny, you wouldn't expect her to get much air, but she gets more air than basically any other woman, giving her time to just PACK her routines with moves and crank up the difficulty and start values. There's a vault called the Yurchenko Double Pike, and men have competed it in the past with their bigger bodies, but Simone is the first woman to ever land it in competition, because no other woman has been able to get air like this. Because of the issues with air time and how many movements she's trying to fit into just a few seconds, doing things no other woman can do, you would expect her to be really straining and just barely getting into landing position in time to land safely, but she actually has the opposite problem. Because she's so weirdly strong and powerful, she actually OVERPOWERS and OVER-ROTATES a lot of her vaults and tumbling. Like, she's already doing things no other woman can do, and she has to HOLD HERSELF BACK from doing more. Because of this insanity, she has start values above a 6, and I don't think that was a thing before Simone. You may see 1 or 2 others at the Olympics above a 6, but that's because everyone has been chasing her for years now. Gymnastics scores are decimals instead of whole numbers because the execution deductions mostly happen in tenths, so a lot of times you'll see a winner ahead by only tenths, hundredths, or even thousandths of a point, but Simone's start values are so high that she can be sloppy on balance beam, over-rotate her vault, and still beat 2nd place by 2 full points. She created a move (and could pull it off btw) that was so dangerous the international judges intentionally gave it a low start value so that no one would ever think the points were worth the danger of trying to do it in competition. I think Simone did it once just to make sure it was named after her (always named after the first to successfully do it in international competition - she has at least 2 named after her now), and then she went back to her good start values.
Yes you are right, there is still racism in the world and always will be cause there are bad people in the human race. But also remember, that racism happens to all kinds of people and even to whyte people today. I'm gay and have faced hatred all my life. But i wish we would work more on just celebrating all of us together! We all LOVE Simone and 90% of gymnastixs fans are whyte. Know what I'm trying to say? I understand she is a role model for black girls, but shes also a role model for ALL GIRLS. literally every younger gymnast says that Simone was their inspiration for soing the sport. Idk exactly what I'm trying to say lol. I just wish peace and love for everyone, no cap.
You should look up her beam from 2023 world championships. She did that same routine, but with practically no wobbles at all. She is out of this world.
Nah you really gotta see her during rio 2016. She was 19 eating everyone up and to think she been doing this for a decade and still this dominate is unreal. Also watch olympics 2024 floor routine for All around finals
What is with you guys not wearing shirts? Do you need me to send you a T-shirt? LOL Thanks for your reaction and supporting these athletes! Guess what .... she's AMERICAN!!! I'm proud of THAT! It's sad! A lot of people refused to watch the Olympics because of the heresy in the opening but these athletes have worked SO hard for many years to get to this point and IMHO we MUST support them!!!!! Don't want to disappoint you but there are a LOT of little white girls who admire her too!
It is worth mentioning that she’s a black woman, because until about 10 years ago, this was a very white-dominated sport in America. Mostly because it’s basically a rich persons sport. It costs upwards of $15k a year for elite gymnastics training, so the income gap excluded a lot of black and brown from reaching the higher levels. And because of that, even among the black and brown who could afford it, there wasn’t much interest because it was perceived as a “white sport”. But now, first with Gabby Douglass winning the highest medal in her Olympics, and then with Simone bursting on to the scene the following year doing skills that put her head and shoulders above ANY female champion before her, there is a lot of interest in gymnastics from black and brown people, and more of them are making it to the elite levels with the income gap finally closing.
Yes that's the same young lady at the time he was a boyfriend now he's her husband he made a comment that he was the best one in the relationship he said he didn't know who she was she's a 2728 years old she's been doing this since she was 6 years old so and knowing how they blew her up because of who her real mother was I don't see how anybody didn't really know who she was whether you was into gymnastics or not they've done a couple of movies about her and everything else but yeah this young lady here is all that U-Pull-It video when she was actually having a bad day those who have low scores and she still was above everybody else she's awesome and that is true black girl magic that young lady right there Simone we all love her❤❤❤❤ they even got mad when she stopped the Olympics 4 years prior she jumped out of the Olympics in the middle of the Olympics because she was going through the twisties which means she couldn't figure who where she was at in the air and to keep from getting hurt she went through her own mental battles and everything and she came back stronger than ever I was a blessing to watch even when she told about that white doctor that was molesting all of them when in front of the senator had him arrested and had him locked up I was so proud of her for doing her thing and sticking by her guns and telling the truth
10:22 Nah dude. I understand you not being familiar with her. But, it is wild to imagine a fellow athlete not knowing who the GOAT of US gymnastics is (especially when he acknowledges knowing a former gymnast who competed with her in the past). Also, even after knowing who she is, him saying that “he’s the prize” - when he’s a bottom rung NFL player is wild.
Of all her accolades, all the medals. Her greatest moment in my opinion was last Olympics when she took her vault and UT didn't go well. She was loosing her place in the air. I think she ran again and fell. She ended up ING herself out of the rest of the rotations because of something they call the twisties. While rotating she wA losing her place in the rotation, not knowing wher she was in the twist, so effecting the safety of the pass. Too much can go wrong at speed ND if her head isn't in it she could get hurt.
The way I knew exactly what leg break vid you meant bc I’m still scarred from that injury 😭 and that was in college where the skills are bit even half of what is happening here

If you do research it says all races have been enslaved throughout human history
She gets up to 12 feet in the air on her first tumbling pass. I think she is 4 foot 8 inches tall. She is 27 years old and one of the oldest gymnasts out there and the best too!
After all these years of watching her greatness, my jaw still drops at the height she gets.🐐

That first vault is the hardest vault in the world-by far. Only a handful of MEN even attempt it.
She is so compact and powerful: she does tumbling passes and vaults that nobody else can even complete, and she has to hold back so as not to overpower them and OVERrotate.
And you're not "playing the race card": representation matters. If you never see someone like you do something, you can't visualize it for yourself. Gabby, Simone, Suni... they've put faces to lots of dreams.
Simone leads by example in and out of the gym. She's not just a dedicated athlete, she's a mentor, she's opened up the conversation on mental health in sports... she's a role model for anyone who wants to be the best human being they can be.
💙
The women can walk into her tumbling passes. She is amazing.
Simone is the most decorated gymist both male and female and her difficulty in her routines is one of the reasons she is considered the Goat. She also has 4 skills named after her.
That only she does. Lol
@@lone6718 i mean Hilary heron did the Biles 1 in this Olympics
Simone is so good and her routines are so hard that she can fall on a landing (something that usually destroys any chance at a good finish) and still rank top 3. She is literally in a league of her own. She has 2 moves named after her, and there is speculation that there may be a 3rd coming soon.
She actually has 5 moves named after her; 2 on the floor, 2 on the vault, and 1 on the beam. So far, only 1 has been tried in competition by another gymnast, and that was done by another young, Black gymnast.
Compared to other gymnasts, she lacks artistry, but she is already developing in this. Her routines are the most difficult in the world, but there's only a few grace in the dance parts.
She literally won gold at 2018 world championships with two falls and competing with kidney stones. That was probably the worst competition of her life and she was still the best in the world, even at her worst, which is crazy.
@@oszivlogs2560She doesn't lack artistry. Her floor routine has plenty of flourishes which she executes very well. Perhaps some girls have more artistry but to say she has a "lack" would be incorrect.
@@annecerrano263 I didn't say that there is a complete lack of artistry in her exercises, but that the choreographies are often poor, such as this year or in 2019. Last year's, 2015's, and 2018's were the best, they matched her.
Simone Biles is possibly the greatest athlete alive. She is sooooooo far ahead of any other gymnast it's insane. The greatest men in the world can't do what she does.
You’re just on all the vids commenting damn near lol
@@JTheUltra hahahaa! Yeah I randomly found one of your vids yesterday and then watched a whole bunch cause we like all the same stuff
I am glad someone else agrees.But I really think Simone IS the greatest athlete of all time. 🎉
She is certainly the greatest gymnast of all time, man or woman. You can not say the greatest athlete as abilities between sports differ so much. Michael Phelps is a great example. Best swimmer of all time and most Olympic medals of all time I believe.
@hayleylorenzo6709 Gymnastics is far more complex than swimming. It's far more dangerous too. Phelps swims fast. That's all he has to do in every race is swim fast. Usain Bolt is fast but all he has to remember to do is run fast. Gymnasts have to have so many different skills.
She’s a 4’8” powerhouse. She has so much power on her floor routine. She’s struggle staying in bounds. She’s doing stuff on routines. Nobody else is doing. Yes that was her husband talking about not knowing who she was
Yes, the power is there, but I don't find grace in this routine, and most of hers. Last years fx, and also the 2015 and 2018 ones have musicality, but most of the time she lacks it.
On day 2 her first tumbling pass - the triple twisting double flip - she went 12 feet in the air which is higher than an NBA basketball hoop. Lebron would have to jump 16 feet in the air to compare the height she gets
lol it’s also the force and the velocity of her speed going up in the air . But still impressive. But LEBRON has jumped off one leg w his head above the rim only 8 ft away from the rim in his prime . Again both impressive
Former gymnast here...If you see a green arrow/triangle next to the final score, it means that it's in the upper scoring on average for that season. Kinda like a stop light bc you'll also see yellow and red. The "difficulty" score will change based on how had the moves are in the routine (they go in with a set difficultly score based on what is expected for them to perform and each gymnast will choose moves to increase this score - it's basically a start value). The "execution" score is how well they perform the routine. It's based of of 10 and points are taken away based on different criteria. Hops/steps on landings, falls, out of bounds, break in form (bent knees, leg separation, balance checks/wobbles, etc). That's the basics of it. It's more complicated than that bc different moves give you different points but yeah.
Simone is on the small side even for a gymnast. She's 4'8". For perspective, the tallest gymnast on this year's Olympic team for the US is 5'2".
Simone is such an inspiration to people everywhere. She’s so humble, sweet, but hardworking and outspoken about mental health. Love her
This was not her best, but she is still consistently better than any other gymnast because her level of difficulty is so high. That she is able to accomplish all of this at 27, which is old for a competitive gymnast, is remarkable. She does have a tendency to step out of bounds because of how powerful she is at tumbling. She gets so much speed and height. Oh, and she is 4'8" tall! Fantastic reaction! As a woman of color, I would have loved to grow up looking up to someone like Simone, who is not only the GOAT, but humble and gracious.
She is the most decorated gymnast ever, male or female, in the world! She currently has 37 world and Olympic titles. Most of which are GOLD! That doesn't even include every national title she's held or currently holds!
The white line is the boundary on the floor. If they go over it’s a deduction. Simone is known to go out of bounds because she is so freaking powerful yet elegant too. She floats her tumbles and that’s hard to do. I’ve seen videos of how she trains and she isn’t all upper body. Her legs look small but it’s like she has springs in them! And this wasn’t her best competition either! I’d bet she’s going to be even more on fire in Paris. Can’t wait to see this team compete. ❤
Simone is 4 foot, 8 inches. The U.S. women's team this year are 2 black women, 1 white, 1 asian, and 1 hispanic. The men's team has Frederick Richard. Lot's to see at the Olympics, check out Sha'Carri Richardson and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Also, Simone married Jonathan Owen's, an NFL player, and her fans got a little butt hurt when they found out he didn't know who Simone was when he met her,😅😅
The reason they are mad is because he was tweeting about gabby Douglas in 2012, gabby Douglas won the all around, so if he knew gabby Douglas he must’ve known who Simone biles was, also Simone started competing internationally right after 2012 so there’s now way he didn’t know her
@user-oi8bt6kh3w rationally speaking,how do yk if you don’t know him? Like I said in the vid , the only reason ik of gabby when she was the topic is bc I’m black and I seen her being advertised on BET network . Not bc I watched gymnastics I didn’t hear about Simone biles until a lot later 🤷🏿♂️
@@JTheUltra I completely understand and you do have a point, I guess I should have clarified that he was tweeting about her during the all around final which was August 2nd 2012 when these tweets where posted and he was commenting about the literal things she was doing.
@@JTheUltra Yup, he's a football guy so why would he? But you know how fans can be, they just can't understand how everybody doesn't know all about their hero.
What difference does it make, whether he knew her or not? They're married, and he more than knows her now.
Gabby Douglas was never considered the GOAT. She was the first black Olympic All-Around Champion. The first talk about GOAT was with Simone... because she ridiculous in comparison to anything we've every seen. That and her THIRTY SEVEN world and Olympic medals.
Interesting, I should react to gabby too . Def need to react to more Simone as well
@@JTheUltraCheck out Dominique Dawes
Simone is fkn amazing. She is a super human. She is just out of this world. Love this girl
“(Is she legit)” be ffr
Though she be but little, she is fierce! #GOAT
Her difficulty level is so high she can fall and still win She is so powerful she has to rein it back so she doesn’t go out of bounds or over rotate on a move that no other gymnast can even do. She may be little but she is mighty. Just one big muscle.
Some people were just meant to do what they do, and Simone is one of them.
Glad to see more men appreciating female athletes! Got to give Simone her flowers, she’s an absolutely brilliant athlete and such inspiring dedication, too.
Is she legit? Go watch every competition she's been in and there's your answer. Of course she's legit and this inspirational young lady is breaking records, pushing the limit of what the human body can do and paving the way for future gymnasts. She is absolutely phenomenal and legendary!!!
as a former gymnast of ten years, the broad shoulders are just something that comes with the sport lol. still have them to this day
She wasn't happy with her beam you could tell from the look on her face she said she was so angry at herself. She's 4'8 she's teeny tiny. She's got a strong upper body but her legs are very strong also.
Simone is amazing. Her husband Jonathon Owens and her family are awesome to watch for their reactions.
If you want to understand scoring. A basic way to explain it is that they are scored on execution and difficulty. Difficulty is open-ended and based on the skills that gymnasts do. The skills are in the code of points and have a point value assigned to each one. Execution is out of 10.0, and it is based on how the gymnast performs their routine. Flexed feet, less than 180° splits, wobbles, hops on landings, going out of bounds, bent legs, falls, etc. result in deductions. There's a lot of playing with risk vs. reward for gymnasts. You can do more difficult skills, but deductions can make it not worth it to do. So, a gymnast might have less difficulty but higher execution. Simone is one of those who has high difficulty and high execution.
When was Gabby Douglas ever considered the best of the greatest of all times cuz that's never been true she was the first African-American female to win a gold medal in gymnastics but I've never heard anybody say she was the greatest I wish she had to went on and hung in there and came on back cuz I believe she could have done it she just gave up on herself too easy
Gabby Douglas got hurt, so she didn’t give up on herself.
I am a white woman and I look up to her. I understand that she is a great role model for young black girls. but she is also a great role model for every child no matter how much Melanin they may or may not have.
I'm not black, but personally I think, talking about Simone's race isn't just "playing the race card" or even only about black pride. For the entire history of this sport, it's been the sole province of willowy white teenagers. Here is this STRONG, hardworking, talented black woman just REVOLUTIONIZING the entire sport, not just as far as racial or body positive representation, but even taking those things away - she's blown EVERYONE out of the water and fundamentally raised the standard of competition. It's worth celebrating her as a black woman who eats glass ceiling for breakfast, I think.
I have been watching gymnastics for decades. Simone is the best I have ever seen. She is the greatest to ever grace the sport.
Simone Biles is 4’8” and I think her husband is like 6 ft. She’s an amazing athlete and truly the g.o.a.t in her sport.
Watching from Australia. I've never watched the gymnastics.....now I can't miss it. She is so beautiful and talented ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
She so good she has moves named after her. Not everyone can say that. The True GOAT
this is the only sport besides from figure skating i like to watch but i only watched few things and when you look at other gymnasts it´s like crossing your fingers that they wont trip of loose balance it´s always like that and all of them move the same way. but then there is Simone and i remember when i first saw her.
it was so powerful and controlled than anyone else and her ballance is of the roofs. it´s like yes now it´s simones turn and she will kill it as usual you feel entertained and in aww rather than scared. the hight she has on her jumps is so wild. i do not knowing the tecniqual terms i just enjoy watching it. i see something unique with simone
At Nationals this year, her difficulty was so high that with a 1 pt deduction on pummel since she literally sat down and still beat everyone's else's score. I think she was doing the move named after her
Your facial expressions is ALL of us! Like OMG 😳 but she’s so dope🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Simone is such an inspiration and a legit GOAT - all around awesome 👏
White gal here… dude, have you been living under a rock the last decade or so? Simone Biles is the GOAT! Mary Lou Retton, Shannon Miller, Gabby Douglas - those girls cannot hold a candle to Biles. She takes incredibly dangerous risks (that are sometimes meant for men) and makes it all look so easy. Her knees and ankles are always together, her twists and flips are so tight, and the incredible amount of air beneath her is insane! What can you say about an athlete who has moves named after her? I believe I’m right in saying that one of her moves is rated a J… at first it was rated a G (most difficult) or something, but the degree of difficulty is so insane that the gymnastics committee had to skip a couple of letters to adjust for it. Her layouts are breathtaking and when she nails a wolf turn, it’s a thing of beauty. You are the only person I’ve ever heard of whether black, white, purple or whatever who has not heard of Simone Biles. You do not, however, have to be black to adore her. We all do… her work ethic, her mad skills, her grace & beauty under pressure, and her heart have made her the most decorated gymnast of all time. Look at the leg, butt, and shoulder muscles on her - yeah, she works hard. And yes, she’s only 4’8”. She is truly a work of art.
im white and love Simone, she worked damn hard to get where she is and deserves all the medals, praises and accolades!! She truly is the GOAT. Truly gifted and talented young lady :)
You’re so right about being scared as a family member. My son did high school gymnastics, and he had an incident on rings about 15 years ago that still makes me shudder a bit when I think about it. He was warming up, and one of the rings came loose while he was upside down. He dropped straight down, head first, and don’t come back up for a minute or two. II thought he broke his neck. Watching him compete after that was a heart in my mouth experience every time.
I would say more muscle memory than instinct. She had amazing natural talent from the beginning but honed it to perfection with constant practice. Her dedication makes her the GOAT
Simone's backstory - Lifetime did a movie on her. Because the simple truth is it was pure chance that she was noticed as a little girl. I won't talk about the movie so as not to spoil it, but I do recommend watching the movie. Also if you recall - the Doctor that was sexually abusing gymnasts... Well, while it isn't openly talked about and something the girls were under NDA's or lose their spot on the US Team. It is small wonder that many girls on the US Team came and went, when you consider the trauma they were exposed to. Simone herself stepped away from competing for 2 years with mental health, and what gymnasts call 'the twisties'. During that time she got married to her NFL playing hubby, so someone that understands that passion and drive that pushes her. You will see him throughout videos of her comeback competitions.
Great reaction 👌Gabby opened up the sport to include more races and honestly - body sizes. It used to be all pasty thin white girls. Now coaches and judges look at the skill, not just appearance, and even as a white lady who was average in gymnastics, it makes me proud of the sport. simone is a beast! I also love Suni Lee.❤
It actually started with Dominique Dawes from the 96 team.
Y’all need to put some respect on Betty Okino’s name. She predated Simone, Gabby, even Dominique Dawes, & was a national balance beam champion, the first black woman from any country to win multiple world medals, & part of the group that won America’s first team medal at a fully-attended Olympics in ‘92.
@@millaray9912Okay, thanks for schooling us.
The floor exercises are done on a "bouncy" floor to help absorb the impact to help avoid injuries.
She is the goat of gymnastics.
About the tumbling, I quit competing/gymnastics when I hit 5’6. It definitely isn’t made in favor of tall women. I’d completely ruined my knees and shoulders by the time I was in my mid teens. I’m amazed with Simon bc she was allegedly in a lot of pain while competing n still did beautifully
Simone Biles is a superstar! She is so awesome!
I admire great athletes no matter their culture and Gabby Douglas and Simone are great role models for everyone but especially black girls who want to compete in a sport that had a lot of ingrained racism not so long ago. These role models are even better when they are also good people. I even admit as a white guy that I might favor a white athlete in sports where we aren't often represented at elite levels such as track and field or basketball.
What’s so amazing and incredible about female gymnastics are the different events they have to train for! ❤😊
She's a legend.
There's a window of time when you can do gymnastics, but her being 27 and considered old is so ridiculous sounding.
for people who don’t really understand gymnastics, simone is the greatest gymnast (male or woman) of all time and it actually isn’t even close
She’s just the greatest female gymnast period. No need to limit her influence.
I enjoyed watching this with you. Don't worry you did a good job. What else can I say besides, Simone is the GOAT. Incredible athlete and human. The height she gets on every apparatus is insane! My favorite is her floor routine, lil ball of fire ❤
You also just happened to pick a video where she had a bad night on the beam. That is very rare for her. She almost always hits the beam perfectly on all her skills.
I think she is one of the first people to win 9 Olympic medals in a row!
She is so amazing!❤
Simone has 2 vaults in her name no other woman has competed. A beam dismount in her name no one on earth can currently do. 2 moves on floor in her name, the 2nd one no woman has ever done in competition. In every All Around competition she has participated in since 2013 Worlds she has won. Watching her once is good but it's hard to REALLY understand until you look at her long term accomplishments. She gets credit but I think because people don't follow gymnastics they don't realize just how incredible she actually is.
This commentary was excellent lol. I could see you being on Tv as a live host at events
Simone’s name will be mentioned with the greats like Venus and Serena. She’s truly this generations’s best female athlete.
Appreciate your commentary, but also...where is your shirt?
Thanks but Why does it matter lol I’m n my crib . I’m a guy . What of it ? The freedom of being a guy 🤷🏿♂️😂
Simone is amazing and the GOAT! I was a gymnast and the workout was brutal!! I think she is a great role model
Simone does the MOST difficult and DANGEROUS moves in world. Her vault alone could paralyze someone if they didn't have the skill to do it. That first vault was only done by men becuase you need so much strength to do it and land properly without breaking your legs
Simone s an incredible athlete and for a 27 year old is truly amazing and an inspiration to all young girls.
OK for scoring. Anything in the mid to upper 14s is good. Anything in the 15s is very good to upper 15s. Great. Anything over 16 is amazing and anything in the 17’s or above is earth shattering nobody else in the world can do it. Also, this is not her at her best. Athletes like this train to peak at specific competitions so she’s training to be in peak form by Paris. As for racism in gymnastics, it is still very prevalent. An Irish gymnast last year was not given a medal because of the color of her skin. Simone actually stepped in. Absolutely outrageous.
4:52 I don’t care what anyone does or doesn’t know about gymnastics or Simone, when you see this you say GATDAMN! 🤯
Since Dominique Dawes I know all black Olympians . They are awesome! Simone is craze great!
So bars is her WEAKEST event, right? And yet she still is EASILY top 2 or 3 in the USA and she STILL makes it to the finals at worlds championships in bars...imagine being sooooo good that even your "weak" event is still world class!!
Simone is a BEAST! My 7 year old loves watching her! She has 6 skilled techniques named after her.
First time watching ... I like you, Bro!
Yes, Simone is very small. She is only 4 ft. 8 in. She and Kerri Strug are the two shortest to ever represent the US in the Olympics. In general, though, gymnasts need to be short (the majority of female gymnasts are under 5 ft. 2 in.) because shorter people are more aerodynamic. They have lesser inertia and a lower center of gravity, which all makes it much easier for them to jump higher, flip, and tumble with more precision and ease and have a much more stable landing since they are closer to the ground than a tall person.
I completely agree with what you said about it being amazing what the body can do. That's one of the main reasons I follow gymnastics. I enjoy watching other sports too, so no disrespect to them, but gymnastics hits different. Most people can run and most people can catch a ball, even though some are definitely better than others. Most people cannot do what these gymnasts do. Fyi, men's gymnastics has different events, so you should check some of them out too. USA hasn't really had any men who can win at a global level in a decade or two, so maybe check out some of the other countries' men lol.
I haven't read the comments, so idk what else has already been covered. There are 3 parts to a modern gymnastics score at the pro/elite (not college) level: the "start value," which is sort of like bonus points based on the difficulty of what you're doing; the execution scores, which measures how well you did it; and the total score, which is a combo of the other 2. The execution score starts at 10 and gets reduced for each issue the judges see, whereas the start value starts at 0 and goes up for each added element. So a score of 10 or lower at this level (again, college is different) means something has gone very wrong. Most of the start values at the Olympics will probably be somewhere between a 4.5 and a 5.9, so scores of 14 and 15 are pretty solid.
Simone Biles is the GOAT because, as you noticed, she's tiny at 4'8", but she's insanely powerful in ways that defy logic. When it comes to vaults and tumbling, you're limited in how many twists and flips you can do and still land safely by how high you go into the air and how long you stay there. You can't keep flipping an inch from the ground and hope for the best. Since she's so tiny, you wouldn't expect her to get much air, but she gets more air than basically any other woman, giving her time to just PACK her routines with moves and crank up the difficulty and start values. There's a vault called the Yurchenko Double Pike, and men have competed it in the past with their bigger bodies, but Simone is the first woman to ever land it in competition, because no other woman has been able to get air like this. Because of the issues with air time and how many movements she's trying to fit into just a few seconds, doing things no other woman can do, you would expect her to be really straining and just barely getting into landing position in time to land safely, but she actually has the opposite problem. Because she's so weirdly strong and powerful, she actually OVERPOWERS and OVER-ROTATES a lot of her vaults and tumbling. Like, she's already doing things no other woman can do, and she has to HOLD HERSELF BACK from doing more. Because of this insanity, she has start values above a 6, and I don't think that was a thing before Simone. You may see 1 or 2 others at the Olympics above a 6, but that's because everyone has been chasing her for years now. Gymnastics scores are decimals instead of whole numbers because the execution deductions mostly happen in tenths, so a lot of times you'll see a winner ahead by only tenths, hundredths, or even thousandths of a point, but Simone's start values are so high that she can be sloppy on balance beam, over-rotate her vault, and still beat 2nd place by 2 full points.
She created a move (and could pull it off btw) that was so dangerous the international judges intentionally gave it a low start value so that no one would ever think the points were worth the danger of trying to do it in competition. I think Simone did it once just to make sure it was named after her (always named after the first to successfully do it in international competition - she has at least 2 named after her now), and then she went back to her good start values.
Yes you are right, there is still racism in the world and always will be cause there are bad people in the human race. But also remember, that racism happens to all kinds of people and even to whyte people today. I'm gay and have faced hatred all my life. But i wish we would work more on just celebrating all of us together! We all LOVE Simone and 90% of gymnastixs fans are whyte. Know what I'm trying to say? I understand she is a role model for black girls, but shes also a role model for ALL GIRLS. literally every younger gymnast says that Simone was their inspiration for soing the sport. Idk exactly what I'm trying to say lol. I just wish peace and love for everyone, no cap.
Wish i could use the like button for your comment multiple times!
4 foot 8 inches tall. She does the hardest moves so that if she get’s deductions she still wins.
You should look up her beam from 2023 world championships. She did that same routine, but with practically no wobbles at all. She is out of this world.
I don't think: you know anything about Simon Biles she's gifted she's started doing gymnastics since she was 6 years old!!!
He said he doesn’t know her.
Some people don’t read titles of videos when I clearly said first time reacting to Simone biles 🥱😂
Nah you really gotta see her during rio 2016. She was 19 eating everyone up and to think she been doing this for a decade and still this dominate is unreal. Also watch olympics 2024 floor routine for All around finals
What is with you guys not wearing shirts? Do you need me to send you a T-shirt? LOL Thanks for your reaction and supporting these athletes! Guess what .... she's AMERICAN!!! I'm proud of THAT! It's sad! A lot of people refused to watch the Olympics because of the heresy in the opening but these athletes have worked SO hard for many years to get to this point and IMHO we MUST support them!!!!! Don't want to disappoint you but there are a LOT of little white girls who admire her too!
Yes, sir, she is AMAZING!!!
Simone's husband is a football player for the Chicago Bears.
Her head hits 12 feet in the air on those runs
It is worth mentioning that she’s a black woman, because until about 10 years ago, this was a very white-dominated sport in America. Mostly because it’s basically a rich persons sport. It costs upwards of $15k a year for elite gymnastics training, so the income gap excluded a lot of black and brown from reaching the higher levels. And because of that, even among the black and brown who could afford it, there wasn’t much interest because it was perceived as a “white sport”.
But now, first with Gabby Douglass winning the highest medal in her Olympics, and then with Simone bursting on to the scene the following year doing skills that put her head and shoulders above ANY female champion before her, there is a lot of interest in gymnastics from black and brown people, and more of them are making it to the elite levels with the income gap finally closing.
Yes that's the same young lady at the time he was a boyfriend now he's her husband he made a comment that he was the best one in the relationship he said he didn't know who she was she's a 2728 years old she's been doing this since she was 6 years old so and knowing how they blew her up because of who her real mother was I don't see how anybody didn't really know who she was whether you was into gymnastics or not they've done a couple of movies about her and everything else but yeah this young lady here is all that U-Pull-It video when she was actually having a bad day those who have low scores and she still was above everybody else she's awesome and that is true black girl magic that young lady right there Simone we all love her❤❤❤❤ they even got mad when she stopped the Olympics 4 years prior she jumped out of the Olympics in the middle of the Olympics because she was going through the twisties which means she couldn't figure who where she was at in the air and to keep from getting hurt she went through her own mental battles and everything and she came back stronger than ever I was a blessing to watch even when she told about that white doctor that was molesting all of them when in front of the senator had him arrested and had him locked up I was so proud of her for doing her thing and sticking by her guns and telling the truth
Everyone loves Simone!
She's like the epitome of Power, Strength and Endurance.
whenever simone is competing everyone else is going for 2nd place lmfao. no one will ever touch her level
She’s 4’8” (just in case no one else has mentioned it).
She’s 4’8” - the beam is 4’4” in height.
the beam QUEEN is ms shawn johnson! i was obsessed with her as a kid
Simone is definitely legit! Never seen anything like it. She is a leader for all of us. We can do amazing things, she is proof.
10:22 Nah dude. I understand you not being familiar with her. But, it is wild to imagine a fellow athlete not knowing who the GOAT of US gymnastics is (especially when he acknowledges knowing a former gymnast who competed with her in the past). Also, even after knowing who she is, him saying that “he’s the prize” - when he’s a bottom rung NFL player is wild.
If I was the interviewer I would be like. Just tell me, everything I saw was perfect. start frim your tippy toes its all great.
Out of bounds is because she stepped over the white line on floor.
UNAPOLOGETICALLY black, flat foot 10 toes down. So proud of Simone the GOAT.
Of all her accolades, all the medals. Her greatest moment in my opinion was last Olympics when she took her vault and UT didn't go well. She was loosing her place in the air. I think she ran again and fell. She ended up ING herself out of the rest of the rotations because of something they call the twisties. While rotating she wA losing her place in the rotation, not knowing wher she was in the twist, so effecting the safety of the pass. Too much can go wrong at speed ND if her head isn't in it she could get hurt.
It's like you found her videos with small mistakes which she hardly ever makes. Her calf is hurt while she at the Olympics.
The way I knew exactly what leg break vid you meant bc I’m still scarred from that injury 😭 and that was in college where the skills are bit even half of what is happening here
She is also the oldest at 27 ❤🤟💕
Woman is a legend
