It's amazing to see how much she improved. Especially on her lso lso series. I hear a lot about Simone's talent but she worked really hard to control her power on beam and have incredible finesse and control in her skills.
How refreshing to have Nastia Liukin commenting! She doesn't seem to feel it's necessary to pick apart every move the gymnast makes or fill every silence with endless talking. The guys are still annoying, but it's nice to be free of Elfie for a little while...
Poor kid. You can see the lack of experience. She was clearly really rattled. Every movement looked tense. But lots of potential and loads of power on that dismount. She got a lot of height and stood it up easily.
Too bad about the full but she recovered well with a great dismount. Simone's got a lot of big skills. She just needs to finesse here and there, work higher up on her toes, etc.
@1:05..... "Why did they do that (add bonus points for connections...) They did it because the roots of gymnastics are a COMBINATION of dance and tumbling or acrobatic skills. And since little girls took over the sport it has become more a string of disjointed tumbling skills with very little dance with even less choreography. They wanted to get back to what gymnastics used to entail. No one finds it all that interesting to simply watch tumbling on the beam (or the floor ex for that matter. Totally boring.)
Some of the comments on here have not aged well lol But looking back it’s crazy to see Simone Biles so rattled. All she needed was some experience and now she’s unstoppable.
I wish she had artistry... Its a good thing mckayla and kyla r back cuz they're the only artistic ones left. Gabbys back in the gym too and she's got pretty good lines. I'm just not a fan of Simone cuz she ONLY power
Funny how Simone is the most decorated gymnast, but she is the absolute ugliest is form amd grace. She wins only because of her difficulty, which is all anyone cares about anymore. She has zero poise and grace, no toe point, little flexibility, horrendous lines.... And on top of all that, she looks beefed up on steroids. My my... how standards have diminished.
This comment is the furthest from the truth. I nearly laughed when I read it. She may lack grace and is more of a power gymnast but her technique and form are absolutely fine. So is her flexibility. Gymnastics will always change and people need to suck it up and get over it already. Her body is also gorgeous. Nothing wrong with a woman being strong and fit. She isn’t the only one to exhibit an incredible amount of muscle nor will she be the last one.
Imagine being this big of a hater lol. It has been shown MANY TIMES that you can't win by just difficulty from gymnasts like mckayla skinner. Simone not only has difficulty, but great form as well. The only thing she really lacks is toe point and you don't have to have hyper flexibility. There are plenty of gymnasts from other countries that don't but yall seem to only target Simone since she doesn't fit the look of the thin petite gymnasts you are used to. Gymnasts are no longer being starved and are rarely overtrained so if course they're gonna look different now. If you're so mad about, stop watching modern gymnastics

crazy how just a few months later she'd become WORLD CHAMPION. great job simone!👿💗😘
3 years later, not months lol
Months later she did become world champion, 3 years later she became Olympic champion
Alya mustafina (RUS) win the beam beam title
Gosh Simone has improved a ton, her mental toughness went up!
And now she is the olympic all around champion to think only a few years ago 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
She has such a neat routine! She actually creates unique dance movements instead of flicking her arms a couple times like the other gymnasts.

back wen other gymnasts had a chance of beating her lol
poor thing
Her beam looks so unappealing... always
MC Hernandez hmm... her beam must remind you of something about yourself
I wish she had artistry... Its a good thing mckayla and kyla r back cuz they're the only artistic ones left. Gabbys back in the gym too and she's got pretty good lines. I'm just not a fan of Simone cuz she ONLY power
This is why i believe simone isn't such a big thing.. shes not an allrounder
Still not a big thing? 3x World All Around, 2x world Beam Champion? LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂idiot😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Olympic Champion now LOL
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Sky Monkies but now she's the olympic all around champion so that definitely means she's not an all arounder doesn't it
