"It would almost be better if you just prove yourself because talking is easy". BOOM!!! Simone Biles is wise beyond her years. I adore Simone Biles. She is so mature, graceful, humble, and wise. Young girls today are soooo lucky to have this new generation for them to witness. This new generation of women is powerful and Simone is among the leaders of this new era.
'Powerful' is such a good word to describe what Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and their generation of fighters are. In their sport and in the fight for justice, these girls are POWERFUL.
God is blessing you, Simone. You are doing something beautiful that no human being has ever done. God gave you the ability and the grace to accomplish this. God is so good!
US Gymnastics should also apologize to Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman as well! Gabby was abused at the Olympics and then brainwashed by everyone around her, leading to that statement on modesty, which she erroneously made. The press turned on Gabby as soon as Simone and Aly showed up! It's just so hypocritical!
I think they have issued general apologies to everyone who was abused, but apologizing doesn't make up for the harm that was done. With respect to Gabby, she made a bad statement and she was appropriately called out for it by the other gymnasts (Simone and Aly) and that's why it made the press. She has since apologized for her statement, and it hasn't been an issue since. I don't think USA Gymnastics needs to apologize for her making a bad statement. That's something she needed to own herself, and she did.
@@captainbryce1 Regarding Gabby I totally understand about owning what she said. However, do you see how her parents used their religion to make her believe that it was some how "her fault" because she wasn't modestly dressed! Do you see how all the training to react like a robot lead Gabby to say what she did? Not only that, the hate campaign against Gabby for not being "patriotic" enough because she stood at attention to get her medal instead of putting her hand over her heart? It's all a form of controlling women and girls to be puppets in order to manipulate them into being submissive! In 2016 it was not okay for Gabby to be upset about how US Gymnastics treated the girls, but it's okay for Simone to curse and cry on camera! I call that a double standard!
@@captainbryce1 I couldn't have said this any better. You have to own your ilk. Gabby will grow from this hopefully and has learned to not side with wrong even if you lose millions of stans. Gabby's fans are the ones that lulled her into that false narrative. The desire to be accepted by those fickle fans are not the fault of USAG.
McKayla Marooney settled in 2016 (though this was known inside the organization since when it occurred in about 2011 or 2012) and was forced into non disclosure over the abuse she suffered, and USAG still did not inform FBI, OSOC, MSU, local police, even congress about what that vile criminal Nassar did to McKayla, who was traveling also internationally when she was abused. Yes in fact they did silence female gymnasts for the last 30 years or more, maybe since the sport's inception. So Simone and the hundreds of others who are not letting this be swept under the rug are doing something historic, not just for the sport but for society as a whole. Never before have atrocities like this been dealt with publicly, where the pervert was properly punished. Now we are going through the several organizations who also enabled said pervert.
@@TxHoneyBee well-said thanks for this summary. I still can't believe the number of comments I see on youtube and elsewhere that still blame the gymnasts (especially McKayla). It makes me so sick and I'm so proud of the gymnasts that have come forward despite having to deal with the scum that blames them.
I think she means on each of the apparatus (vault, bars, beam, floor). She's going to win the all-around, but doesn't always finished first on every event. I think in her mind if she finishes 4th on one piece, then she has failed herself (even if she still wins the competition).
You’re wrong #simonebiles I watch gymnastics all year long!! I watch @ncaa women’s gymnastics and elite. You and all you women athletes are amazing and well worth watching all year long!
Yes and I hate to say it but I saw her as just wanting attention/trying to stay relevant at the time. It seemed to be sour grapes on her part--would she had made those accusations if she had been Olympic champion in 1996? Also, since she also had major problems with her parents it seemed like she was a troubled young woman lashing out at everyone. And I didn't want to believe the Karolyis were abusive. Honestly we really need to take a look back at the whole system through the 1990s and 2000s. I wonder where the Karolyis are hiding out.
@@candacebordelonph.d.8890 I don't think the Karolyis themselves were sexually abusive. But they were physically abusive, and they did look the other way and ignore sexual abuse allegations from the gymnasts because protecting their athletes wasn't the priority - winning was. It's not that they were intentionally fostering sexual abuse, it's just that they didn't care, which is sad and pathetic.
captainbryce1 oh I agree . They were verbally, emotionally, and perhaps physically abusive but I don’t think they directly knew about Nasser. But the whole system was riddled with holes that gave Nasser and others like him ample opportunity to prey on these gymnasts.
Simone, if you ever retire... just do gymnastics as a recreational sport... as your daily workout. Even with even 2 hours of training a day.. you could even be a event specialist after you retire.. and still win gold medals.
@@godofwar6843 I have a feeling that she'll come back for 2024 if she can stay healthy. I want her to try to get at least 2 moves on each apparatus named after her. That would be mind blowing 🤯🤯
@@amazoncatsmith8895She could easily win golds all around in 2024. I just wonder if she will want to cultivate her other passions at some point, be it business, education, philanthropy, etc...
@@TxHoneyBee She's a pretty accomplished business woman now. She has her own line of gymnastic equipment, her family own the gym where she trains, she manages all of her enforcements not to mention all of the charities she's involved in. I'm not sure how she manages all that and still trains 30+ hrs a week. Oh yeah, and she also takes college courses in her spare time. Lol. It's kinda scary to imagine what she'd be able to accomplish if she didn't have to be in the gym 30hrs/wk. It's kind blowing 🤯🤯🤯
Just love the way certain folks grope to black athletes when they are on very top but will turn on them just as quickly if one of their own can find a way to surpass them ... watch your six Simone it ain't all love
The interviewer was amazing and very respectful! She showed compassion and really took Simones feelings into consideration when the topic got a little bit heavy.
I don’t watch any sports just Simon Biles. I just can’t understand how a body can do those things. What makes her so powerful, it’s like releasing tons of energy. And her personality is also unmatched. Never get tired of watching her perform. Stay humble and adorable.
@@demetriromano565 I mean her family helped her capitalize on her "hyperactivity" when so many children like her get medication that's designed to slow them down so they don't cause any problems. Who knows how many super athletes we've "lost" because of a lack of insight on the part of the parents or guardians?
Michelle Gordon Okay I understand what you mean and I agree. I hope as a society going forward we can help every child reach their potential, just like Simone.
Taking time off from gymnastics was the best thing Simone has done. She gave herself a chance to re-examine and recenter on what's important for her in gymnastics and in life. And it shows. She's better than ever before but also has reached a level of maturity most gymnasts don't reach until NCAAs or after they leave the sport altogether. She is the GOAT but also the greatest thing that's happened for gymnastics (Katelyn Ohashi and Miss Val get honorable mentions in my books though).
"Why hasn't #45 made a statement" - she said that she is doing it for herself and the passion for the Sport. She also said that she has nothing to prove to anyone. 9 times out of 10, she doesn't care about what #45 thinks, says or even if acknowledges her. A lot of people could learn from her wisdom.
0:16 "Simone's got enough gold medals, someone give this girl a CROWN!" TRUE. She's not just the top athlete, no, she's also standing up against a huge organisation. To protect future generations of gymnasts. That takes bravery beyond belief and THAT, my friends, deserves a crown.
Gymnastics fans have to realize how lucky we are to be living in the era that we are and witnessing the greatness that we are witnessing. There has never been a gymnast like Simone Biles before, and will likely never be another. She is a one-of-a-kind! There have been many great gymnastics champions in the past. Larisa Latynina for decades had more Olympic medals than any other athlete (until Michael Phelps came along). Nadia Comaneci, the first gymnast to record a perfect 10 at the Olympics and really popularized the sport internationally. Mary Lou Retton, the first American to ever win the Olympic gold in the all-around. The Magnificent 7, the first American team gold medalists (including Kerri Strug and her iconic vault). Svetlana Khorkina, the first gymnast to win 3 world all-around titles. Gabby Douglas, the first African-American Olympic all-around champion. But none of them have ever pushed the sport the way that Simone Biles has. None of them had won every all-around competition they entered for 6 straight years! None of them have ever consistently destroyed the competition by 2 - 3 points over their nearest competitor. None of them invented new moves each year that were previously deemed impossible! Simone does skills that would be competitive in men's gymnastics. There are only 4 or 5 men who've ever landed a triple double in competition, and two of them are considered to be the very best in the world on floor (Kenzo Shirai and Kohei Uchimura). What Simone does is really unprecedented!
The sad thing is that if it was anyone other than Simone, USAG would have shut her up by not putting her on teams but now they can’t afford to do that because not only is she the best gymnast in the world but is the most well known. If tomorrow Sunisa or Kara came out saying that USAG was not doing their job they would be shoved to side and would be threatened with no placements on teams forcing them to silence.
Came for Simone but I've got to say that interviewer was amazing. So respectful and the way she fluently transitioned between questions was flawless.
ikr
Totally agree! So refreshing to see a reporter who is so respectful and nice!
Boooorrrriiinnnggg

Savannah is great.
American Hero. 👏👏👏 She is a role model who has broken records despite a corrupt and abusive USAG organization!
Simone is everything

Yes! I was born in 1969. There was only one Back female Olympian, Wilma Rudolph.
'Powerful' is such a good word to describe what Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and their generation of fighters are. In their sport and in the fight for justice, these girls are POWERFUL.
Simone is the kind of person that makes me proud to be American.
She’s like the only person that makes me feel this way lol
i can agree 100%
SHE CLAIMED TO BE THE BEST EVER AND LEAVES A FEW DAYS LATER. NOT VERY DIGNIFIED.

Where in the world is Matt Lauer???!!
Good point. A douchey man journalist would probably ask her about the color of her underwear.

How can you NOT just utterly love this woman!! 🤷♀️ She is a legend.

I tear up a bit every time I watch her routines and think on her excellence. What a tremendous athlete.
