Simone Biles has been taking the gymnastics world by storm for quite some time now. Even if you know nothing about gymnastics, you can tell within just a few seconds of watching her that she's something groundbreaking and spectacular.
This past Saturday, she took first place for all-around gymnast at the Pacific Rim Championships, coming in no lower than fourth place in any individual event. She recently won her third title in Glasgow, totally shocking everyone there by blowing away the competition, even with a few minor errors.
So when she came to the Pacific Rim Championships with her fellow American teammates, everyone in attendance expected nothing but the very best. Everyone was also eagerly anticipating the debut of her new routines on the floor as well as for the vault.
Since Glasgow last year, Biles hasn't performed. This was a decision made by her team coordinator, so that she could take the past five months to regroup and work on these new routines after a career and woman's gymnastics record of 10 gold medals at Glasgow.
The things that Biles is capable of pulling off are nothing short of extraordinary. The amount of power that her small frame contains is exponentially larger than many grown men or women twice her size. The level of athleticism Biles demonstrates in all of her routines is the very definition of mind-blowing; I had no idea that a human body could fly that high in the air without the help of a pole or a trampoline!
Are you amazed by this 19-year-old's gold performance? Please SHARE with your family and friends on Facebook if you're just as stunned by her moves!
