The world gymnastics champ posted a video of her latest feat on Monday evening to Twitter, a clip showcasing a move that fans recognized as the double pike yurchenko. Or, you know, enough flipping and spinning to leave the average viewer a little dizzy. “[2020](https://time.com/5763785/robots-2020-olympics/)?” she captioned the post, along with a series of eye emojis. > [](https://twitter.com/Simone%5FBiles/status/1224457583647309824) In the made-for-motivation snippet, she cycles through every move with precision, ultimately descending into a pit of soft red foam-like bricks. Gravity? Never heard of it, no. Precision? Yes. Speed? Of course. A sure-footed dismount to inspire her fans? That, too. Of course, her high-flying, high-spirited performance did not go unnoticed. People across social media were thoroughly impressed — oh, and in slow motion, it’s even more mesmerizing. > [](https://twitter.com/EllieBlack%5F/status/1224514054867374080) > [](https://twitter.com/gymterken/status/1224532382973353984) Just last fall, Biles crushed the World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany, where she became the most decorated gymnast [in the championships’ history](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/sports/simone-biles-worlds.html) (she notched five golds in the 2019 event alone). And given that she’s been honing her moves since capturing four gold medals in Rio, this should be another banner year. Perhaps she said it best in December with this [gold-standard Instagram caption](https://www.instagram.com/p/B6JQheoBmQp/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed): “I’m not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I’m the first Simone Biles.” No lies detected. ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] [00:04] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [00:09] You can tell in a gymnast when they've got [00:13] something. [ MUSIC ] [00:17] When I was coaching I knew her as a younger gymnast [00:21] She always had this incredible talent, that everybody [00:26] looked at her and said, that kid's gonna do something [00:28] big someday. [ MUSIC ] A [00:33] member of the 1996 [00:38] Olympic gold medal Team, [00:43] Dominique Moceanu. Every four years, [00:48] there's always that emotional tug because I [00:52] know what it feels like, what these girls are going [00:55] through. And of course, it all kinda comes back. No [00:57] American gymnastics team [ UNKNOWN ] Men or [00:57] women has won a team gold medal in a fully attended [00:57] olympics. Take a look at history. [01:09] Magnificent seven is the first US Women's gymnastics [01:12] team to win gold and change history in the landscapes [01:15] of gymnastics forever. [ MUSIC ] The [01:23] sport's changed tremendously actually in 20 years. [01:26] The equipment has changed. There's so much more [01:28] springs and padding. It's safer than ever. But then the [01:32] tricks are More difficult than ever. You just wonder, [01:35] how many more twists? How many more flips can they [01:37] do before they hit the ground. You actually see more [01:39] tricks done within a routine versus back in our [01:42] generation it was a little more artistry, little more [01:44] dance, and showmanship. 20 years ago that every [01:48] little form mattered, every stick mattered. The sport [01:52] has gone more towards tricks. Extreme gymnastics. [01:55] But I think some of that art form has been taken away. [01:58] Now if you can do both which Simon [ UNKNOWN ] has [02:01] a lot of both, that's a great combination. That's like the [02:04] dream. [ MUSIC ] She has whatever that [02:08] perfect mix of incredible difficulty but also incredible [02:13] consistency, and artistry, and the technique. It's just [02:17] kind of all bawled up into one. And she just Kind of [02:20] can't lose. Simone is one in a billion. [02:25] She is in a league of her own when it comes to the level [02:29] of difficulty her legs can handle. She stands out [02:32] because of her power. When she was younger she [02:35] would do big skills that you're like a kid that small [02:39] and That young shouldn't be able to do those things [02:43] right now. I think Simon [ UNKNOWN ] is pretty special. [02:45] She's just won three back to back world championship [02:48] titles and now is definitely the front runner for the [02:51] Olympic games. And that will be the first time that's [02:53] ever happened. When you can have consistency and [02:56] you can rely On a girl to hit under pressure you [03:00] want that person on your team. And that's why she's [03:02] been undefeated for three years. There has never [03:05] been anyone more heavily favored for the Olympic [03:08] Games All Around title than Simone Biles. [ MUSIC ] My [03:14] advice to any of these girls is really enjoy the [03:18] experience. You've worked so hard all of these years. [03:22] Just enjoy every moment because before you know it [03:24] it's 20 years later and you'd love to do it all over again. [03:28] Relax, you're ready, you're prepared, believe in [03:30] yourself, and just do what you do.
