What makes Simone Biles’s routines and performances so elite?

209 viewsOther

I know nothing about gymnastics, so in my uneducated mind it all looks the same. What sets her apart and makes her the GOAT? I know she’s unstoppable, but why? What’s she doing on a technical level that sets her apart?

If you watch her, she has raw power that most other female gymnasts just don’t. Watch her vault, and she gets significantly more height than the other girls, allowing her time to do more complex tricks. Even on beam, her dismount is explosive, and she jumps so high. On floor exercise, she launches significantly higher on her runs than other contestants, and able to pull moves other women have never had the height and time to attempt.

All the women are insanely good. She just has this speed and explosive power that allows her to do one more flip, one more twist, than her opponents are capable of. So, she nails moves that other women haven’t been able to successfully pull off.
