Leaving people in wonder and surprise is not new to Simone Biles. Performing complex feats with ease always gave her an edge over others. The whole world looked at her with admiration for her guts and skills. On the other hand, were those who accused her of doping. In addition, there are a few who aspire to recreate Biles’ routines.

Despite knowing how challenging Simone’s routines are, a male gymnast once tried to attempt her floor routine. In a throwback YouTube video, he shared bites of hits and misses of his effort to perform Biles’ signature moves.

Simone Biles set the bar too high

Biles demonstrated an indomitable spirit to attempt the impossible. In the YouTube video, the gymnast said, “She challenges the men.” Also, he said with awe, “She’s doing triple twisting, double back.”

He appealed to the viewers to judge who among the two gymnasts does it the best and “who lives up to Simone Biles, this legendary name.” Though they tried hard, they were only partially successful. To be on the safer side, they attempted on a trampoline while Simone did it on a mat.

One can’t deny that their twists in the air were propelled possibly because of the trampoline. Towards the end, the British gymnast is seen saying that he was going to quit, “It’s dangerous for my flimsy ankles.”

When Simone became the first woman ever to perform the move in a competition

Biles is widely recognized for performing difficult and distinctive moves. In the 2021 US Classic, her first competition after 18 months, the seven-time Olympic medalist carried out a move that is considered dangerous and no woman even attempted it. It is called a Yurchenko double pike. Also, it is unlikely that anybody is even training for the move.

It involves launching into a roundoff back onto the vaulting table and catapulting oneself high enough to have time to flip twice in a pike position before landing on their foot. Biles undoubtedly is gifted with a physique suitable to the sport. Her skills were further nurtured by her hard work and the right coaching. Notably, her coaches always encouraged her to widen her horizon.
