What do you think this is accomplishing? If I truly were racist you think YOU could shame me? Anyway I am black, but white people do not need to slobber over Simone Biles. |
Gymnastics has changed so much. (And in much the same way as figure skating. I did both as a kid/teen in the 80s and 90s). Tumbling (like jumping, in skating) almost feels like it has evolved into its own sport. I find the floor exercise kind of cringe now, due to the music and the little hip thrusts and jazz hands which really only serve to give the athletes a breather between tumbling passes and to remind us that this is women’s gymnastics so it’s “artistic”. I’d prefer the floor to be more like the men’s floor exercise, just silent tumbling and a few other skills.
Gymnasts have traditionally been stronger at bars/beam or vault/floor (and you could usually tell which were which by body type), with a few rare true all-arounders. For the past twenty years or so I’ve really only enjoyed the event finals, and truly feel like I’m watching different sports. |
I think Simone is an amazing athlete. Is she my favorite gymnast? No, far from it. Is she the greatest gymnast of all time? I guess that depends on how you define it. Personally, I think Shannon Miller was a better gymnast overall, accounting for skill standards of the time. |
If you watched Simone Biles' floor routine and were *not* in awe of how unbelievably high her jumps and flips were, then you're some next level troll or next level stupid.
The strength and power of her body is mind blowing - especially for an "old" gymnast. She's without a doubt the GOAT. |
Nope. You rubric is rejected as the pretense. |
Yeah, her jumps and flips are really high! But why do you care if she’s not everyone’s fave? |
Plus 100000000 The fact that the anonymous idiots of DCUM of all places are acting like their opinions about something they clearly pay attention to once every four years are anything other than sheer trash is hilarious. Note to DCUM. You do NOT have any idea what you are a. Looking at or b. Talking about. Why don’t you back to stressing out over important DCUM matters, like having an affair or whining about colleges. |
You are wrong. |
What a post...I feel sorry for those of you with Gen Z kids like this...they love celebrities and the rich and famous, and show utter contempt for everyone else who is actually on their level. |
I don’t even understand what people are arguing about. Everyone agrees Simone Biles is a great gymnast. |
It makes me laugh. |
Obviously not "everyone" actually. |
Simone isn't all that great. Hope that makes you laugh. |
Because you in the KKK if you hate |
