Attacking a woman who survived a drug addicted birth mother, foster care, years of sexual abuse and gaslighting to rise to the top of her sport and stayed in to protect others, who pushed her body past known limits of physics and is always positive in her messages to young girls and women, you may want to re-asses your life.

Ludicrous. Please tell me you're in a non-tech field.

To say she is the greatest female gymnast of all time is not an understatement — indeed, she may just be the greatest, having shown her ability to pull off moves previously considered the preserve of male athletes, like the notoriously difficult Yurchenko double pike. (Biles herself occasionally wears leotards embellished with a goat.)

These heroic feats leave audiences speechless, but to understand them, we must turn to the thing Biles’ athleticism seems to bend: physics.

“ONCE SHE’S IN THE AIR, SHE IS A PROJECTILE.”

David Young, a physicist at Louisiana State University who has investigated the physics of this sport before, explains that part of what sets Biles apart is her ability to act as the conductor to a symphony of factors that play into each movement.

“What sets her apart is her strength, balance, coordination, and muscle control that produce faster rotation rates once she’s in the air,” he tells Inverse after examining the footage of her latest feat.

Young makes a few back-of-the-envelope calculations:

Biles launches into the triple-double at about 14.7 miles per hour from a 71-degree angle
She reaches a peak of 9.5 feet and travels 6.5 feet from where she launched
The impact force from the landing is 382 pounds of force, which is more than three times the gymnast’s weight

Yes but we can’t say this or else we are racist

Please shut up. She had to stay in Tokyo to compete in 20 minutes on the Women's Balance Beam event.

Meanwhile guess what glorious thing happened for her teammates when she did decided to step back

Hope she pulls out in time for someone else to compete.

She's on the beam now!!!

Suni Lee and Simone Biles are both finished competing - Simone is in 2nd place and Suni is in 4th place.

Final beam scores - China took 1st/Gold and 2nd/Silver. The U.S. (Biles) took 3rd/Bronze and she is now tied with Shannon Miller as the most decorated U.S. Olympian in gymnastics in history.

I’m so excited for her! She showed up and did a great job and medaled!

Great job Simone! I’m very proud of her and so happy she was able to compete and win a medal. Many of you are so cynical but I feel good that she could end on a positive note. I really admire her.

Yes. So glad you recognize yourselves for who you are. Racist, jealous, petty individuals who obviously don’t know the rules of the sport or the rules or the Olympics. She wasn’t required to leave, she’s still competing. She didn’t quit on her team, she was injured.

a silver
Not enough to be a legend. She will always be remembered for pulling out.
Not so much for her other accomplishments

It is a pity she didn't quit earlier. By quitting this late she took an opportunity away from someone else

Yay Simone! Adding another medal to her winnings and proving that people can come back strong after mental health challenges.

Medaling is hardly a whimper. She was still the best performing USA athlete in this event and that’s even with doing a dismount that was easier and wouldn’t aggravate her twisties. Without her, the USA wouldn’t have won anything at all on beam.
