Just when we thought she couldn’t possibly surprise us more, Simone Biles has done it again! During warm-ups at the Bercy Arena, the world watched in suspense as the elite gymnast appeared to have tweaked her ankle. The team doctors quickly escorted her away, and the air was thick with uncertainty. Was this the end of her qualifiers? Fans held their breath, worried that the injury would sideline their hero.
But Simone Biles is no ordinary athlete. “I don’t want to be the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I’m the first Simone Biles,” she once said, and she proved it yet again. Despite the scare, Biles returned to the mat with a determination that left everyone in awe. She unveiled a brand-new move: her unique twist on the Weiler-kip. The anticipation was electric as she submitted the element to the FIG on Friday for evaluation, but seeing it in action was something else entirely.
With flawless execution on the uneven bars, Biles scored an impressive 14.433, boosting her all-around score to a staggering 59.566. Not only did she secure the top spot on the leaderboard, but she also added another groundbreaking element to her already legendary career.
