Hey! I recently came across a video of Simone doing a Yurchenko double pike into a pit on YouTube. I think that’s super cool and a bit insane! I don’t know if she’ll ever actually compete it but I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. It was just something so fresh with all of the twisting vaults we...
She announced that she would be competing all four events and assuming she is in top form, will anyone be able to challenge her at the GK Classic or will it be hers to lose like it has been?
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...
Where do you think she is getting the -.3 in deductions from?
I see -.1 for the small hop on landing and -.1 for the crossed feet in the air. But I'm not sure where they found the third tenth, any ideas?

What do you think about Simone Biles's new routine?
Personally I think her old one was much more fun and entertaining. I do like how she kept some of her signature dance moves though.
I attended US Championships last year and was struck by the very few number of gymnasts the U.S. had on the senior Elite level, and among them, how few were able to compete all around. There were only 15 Seniors competing and somewhere around 40ish juniors. This is a very high drop out rate...
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.
