Simone Biles stuns with a unique performance at U.S. Classic

At the U.S. Classic, Simone Biles amazed with a unique stunt only she has ever performed. Clocking in at 59.100, she secured a well-deserved win. The Yurchenko double pike on the vault, a feat only she has ever exhibited, left the crowd in awe during her much-awaited comeback since Tokyo Olympics 2021. Displaying her prowess, she achieved remarkable scores on the uneven bars (14.o) and balance beam (14.8).

However, her absence from the vault victory stirred questions. The reason became clear: she only attempted one vault, while two are required for placement. Despite her higher score on the single vault, she couldn’t place. Moreover, having already qualified for nationals, she approached this event as a warm-up, easing back into competition.

Fans questioned why Simone Biles didn’t win vaults

Simone Biles, known for her exceptional skills in the vault, was not considered for winning in this particular event. On Twitter, the confusion erupted as fans expressed their bewilderment. “What about vault?” one fan tweeted, while another speculated, “I think because she only did one vault”.

The tweets continued pouring in, with fans exclaiming, “Not vault????” and attempting to find reasons for the unexpected outcome, “Wait, she didn’t win vault? Must be because her coach was on the podium, I guess. But she DEF won in everyone’s opinion..” Amidst the uproar, a die-hard fan pointed out an intriguing fact, “She had the highest vault 1 score by 0.750 – and that’s with the neutral deduction for having a coach on the podium”.

This observation left many wondering about the impact of the coach’s presence on the results.
