My dd and I enjoyed the Simone Biles movie on Lifetime the other night. Of course, watching the story unfold and knowing what was going on "behind the scenes" put everything in a different perspective, and I wanted to get some other parent views on something.
In the movie, Simone initially...

Does anyone know what the move Simone Biles does at the end of her 2013 floor routine is called if it even has a name??? It looks like a round off with a twist where she lands on the floor and bounces back up. My DD has been going crazy looking for the name and a break down of the move. Any...

What does everyone think about this?? I saw Ferlito's Gymnastike interview a few days ago and didn't think it was that bad, but this is just crazy.
