15 Skills Simone Biles Has Trained But Never Competed

I'm hoping we'll see the Yurchenko double pike, and 1.5 through to double layout this year!

now the yurchenko double pike has been competed by our one only queen simone biles

How do people even train when she’s there?! Like all I’d do is just watch her and all the amazingness that she does.

What people forget to acknowledge is that Simone is technically superb. Raw power doesn't get you to where Simone is. It's crazy that she competes harder skills than anyone else and it's only 60% of her potential.

Tacking on to an idea below, I’d love to see Simone Biles stay in competitive gymnastics long enough that for her last individual competition, be it Worlds, or something smaller, forget about winning, and just chuck every insane skill she thinks she can try without getting hurt, and see how many more Bileses we can add to the Code of Points.

Can you imagine commentators 10-15 years later?

“That was a Biles Ii connected to a Biles III. Now she’s setting up for her dismount, and just a short hop on that Biles I!

That’ll bring in a great score which puts the pressure on Russian Simona Gymnaskaya who is the only competitor doing a Biles IV dismount.”

simone would be so amazing at power tumbling whenever she wants to stop doing gymnastics

[analuisa]

She can't even use all her skills because there isn't enough competitions, she is THAT good

That double layout + LOSO is so satisfying to watch 😍

[UnitedRedDevils]

Explosive power, tempered with grace & elegance. Not to mention nerves of steel & laser focus. She's in the top tier of all time greats in any sport, in my humble opinion.

Casually over rotates triple back 🙄
edit- tysm for the likes! <3

[emmahastings]

She recently competed the yurchanko double pike!! She’s unstoppable

[ismaelpedroza]

Not the most difficult of this crazy skills but that double layout + LOSO looks awesome. I hope she plays safe at the Olympics and postpone her retirement just a bit so she can have fun at worlds 2021 throwing all her awesome new moves.

Double layout double tuck on floor. and the triple pike. and the Yurchenko double tucked, double piked and triple twisting Yurchenko. and the mustafina dismount. and I'm speechless... 👀

[chrisw]

Am I the only one who was extremely impressed with the back handspring STEPOUT to triple full on beam?! I’m sure I’ve seen this video before, but still!

[buttonz]

Simone’s comment section restores my faith in humanity. Always such positivity!! We can all rally behind how much we LOVE watching Simone. Team 🐐

[djsayune]

When I saw that Mustafina 😢😢😢 imagine how amazing it would have been if she'd done that dismount for the Olympics. A small tribute to Aliya now that she's retired 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[maggietheprincesscastle]

If there was ever any other gymnasts that was able to pull out that many additional skills if needed, just tell me. Otherwise I must think Simone is just the most intake gymnast imaginable

[builtdifferent]

When she did the Mustafina I immediately missed Aliya🥺🥺🥺

[gypsyfirefly]

Simone Simone Simone‼️ There’s no talent equal to hers on earth‼️ This post was awe inspiring, thank you for putting it out here👍🏽

I personally think that a neat idea for her would be to do enough difficulty at the upcoming Olympics to really cement her win and repeated dominance at a 2nd Olympics, reveal a new high-level skill or two, and take home 3 or 4 gold medals (team, aa, and at least vault and/or floor, as well as a medal or two of some color on bars/beam). Then, at Worlds, water down enough to where it is obvious to everybody that it's intentional and just focus on doing really pretty, really well-controlled routines to make world class routines look like compulsories.
