Simone and her coach decided that the neutral 0.5 deduction for having a spotter on the podium is worth it to make sure she's safe!

Only Simone can willingly accept to have a 0.5 deduction and still scores miles above everyone else

Safety first! I wish these damn Gymnastics Federations would understand that. They put gymnasts to so much risk. Spotters should be allowed on any event with no deductions!

It would be so cool to see her get the world title on vault with the Biles I and Biles II

She can’t help herself - it’s in her DNA! What a God-given gift!! A gift that she nourishes & shares w/the world! Watch & be amazed!!!❤❤❤

Her smile just lights up the world doesn’t it?!💞🫶🏻🤸🏿‍♀️

Simone has brought so much to gymnastics. Glad to see her thrive, she's always a joy to watch.

She’s the best…hands & feet down 🙌🏾👏🏿

This was an iconic moment, imo. I genuinely feel blessed to be able to witness Simone's gymnastics!

The fact that she would of scored a 15.9 without the spotter is just incredible! But she and her coach decided it was safer to have her spotter there❤

[karendrives]

And she's started a conversation about allowing a coach spotter for vault in competition. Hopefully it'll be allowed for the Olympics.

I love that she chose to have her coach there, even though it meant having a big deduction. It shows how mature and set on her mental health she is.

[Lakridza]

She is ridiculously talented and beautiful too👏👏👏💯

The first time Simone Biles came back (2018 ?), I was tense, wondering whether she'd be doing good.
This time, I'm full relaxed. She can do whatever she wants, win medals or not. It's just awesome to see her back ! :)

May God continue to bless you Simone! So much talent and just a sweet person all around! ❤❤

[michaelreiter]

Been watching… she is killing it… top of her game and you know she is mentoring the youngsters 🙏

[nancynevels]

Beautiful, Graceful, Talented, Greatest of All Time!!Congratulations !!❤❤❤❤❤

There shouldn't be a deduction for keeping the gymnast safe when attempting such a difficult new skill.

[alyssahayes]

Her celebration afterward is so deserved, love seeing gymnasts proud of themselves especially when so many are pushed to strive for perfection

I love that she had a spotter even if it would cost her points. Look after yourself, Queen.
