SIMONE BILES: TOP SCORING VAULTS in INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION [2013-2020]

Enjoy the GOAT’s sky-high vaulting and stunning execution — it doesn’t get any better than this! This is a compilation of vaults in international competition, which includes the World Championships, World Cup Series, and the Pacific Rim Championships.

There are a lot of Amanar vaults at the start, but you’ll see that as she gets better, she starts to compete Cheng vaults and even her signature Biles vault.

I used the best quality footage that I could find for each vault — it gets much better near the end, but sorry if a few videos near the start are a bit fuzzy. I couldn’t find great footage of the 2016 TF vault — it was an Amanar that scored 15.933 (6.300, 9.633). Similarly, at the 2015 City of Jesolo competition, she scored 15.950 (6.3, 9.650) on her Amanar and won the competition. Her 2018 EF Cheng scored 15.266; her 2019 QF and AA Chengs scored 15.066 and 15.233 respectively.

Do you think that she’ll go for the triple-twisting Yurchenko anytime soon? I feel like she could land it — it’d be super impressive for there to be two high-difficulty Biles vaults in the code. She’s also shown videos of a Yurchenko double pike, which would be unbelievably difficult to compete.

Viewers can see how different performances of the vault earned different scores and derive insight on what judges look for when scoring vaults like Simone’s.

the fact that she had a 6.3 start value and still got a 16.0 score is might boggling

[goldwingedvic]

Her Amanar at the 2019 World Championships at the even final HAS to be the best vault she's ever done.
Also, fun fact: as of now, that's the last vault Simone has performed in competition.

2016 Rio QF Cheng, 2018 Doha QF Biles, 2019 Stuttgart EF Amanar

I notice a correlation between E-scores in the 9.5's and Simone looking pissed off afterwards, LOL

Thank you for this. I loved the format of the video. Hopefully you have similar ones comparing beam, floor and uneven bar performances 🌟

It’s crazy how the amanar has dropped so much in value in favor of the cheng

[tinasmith]

That's why Simone Biles is the:
G.O.A.T.
DON'T GET IT TWISTED!

A Rainha da ginástica mundial sempre nunca mais teremos outra igual

Vốn những bài hát ngày xưa đã rất hay rồi mà thêm giọng hát giàu cảm xúc của Phúc nữa thì đúng là cực phẩm cover😍

[octagontowers]

I don't think she will compete the TTY, at least for now; for these Olympic games she already has a far more difficult vault on her belt: The Yurchenko Double Pike. Maybe, and only MAYBE, if she doesn't retire after the Olympics, she may try and compete it. She could easily do it, though she would have to wait until there's a national and international competition for her to submit the skill successfully.

that first vault.... its like she spent an hour in the air read a few tweets then started spinning

[iamacat]

She got a 16.000 on her first vault in qualification not 15.966

[colesmith]

A few of these are ridiculous. The first vault CLEARLY had crossed and flexed feet (0.2 total) along with a huge hop (and the back foot doing a smaller hop) and then bringing the back foot to the front foot (I would say 0.7 if I'm being conservative). A 9.6 is obnoxious
