Simone Biles isn’t one of the most celebrated gymnasts in the world for nothing. From having several moves named after herself, the 27-year-old is always on the lookout to push her routines further, and this week will offer another chance for her to prove her worth at the Xfinity US championships in Fort Worth, Texas.
With the Olympics not even two months away, this would be a good time for the country’s gymnasts to make the final adjustments to their routines. The Xfinity US Gymnastics Championships are slated to kick off tomorrow (May 30) and will serve as the final major step before next month’s Olympic Team Trials. With this being one of the last big tournaments before the big rumble, Biles might have something up her sleeve to trounce her opponents.
Simone Biles could drop something massive
A recent Reddit post on the group r/Gymnastics hinted at Simone’s possible dismount plans for the upcoming Xfinity Championship. Captioned, “Simone is planning to upgrade her beam dismount“, the post by user gym_fun shared the original YouTube post by GymCastic, where Michigan gymnast Olivia Karas talked about seeing Simone’s new dismount skill this Sunday.
“I feel like she’s a breath of fresh air on the international stage“, said Karas talking about how Simone loves to flair up things while executing difficult moves with poise as she responded to the host’s comment that Biles should make the most of the upgrade.
Justifiably, when fans learned about the potential to see Biles try out something new soon, they couldn’t hold back the excitement. Redditor im_avoiding_work thinks this would be the perfect opportunity for Simone to try her hands with an upgraded version of her current dismount, the Biles, which isn’t worth it in terms of the points it carries. “since the Biles dismount isn’t worth it, my delusional conclusion hearing this is that we will be blessed with a Biles II beam dismount,” gushed the fan, while also noting that the GymCastic host might be over her head about this after all.
