• Biles.Round the story: she is already the most successful gymnast of all time

We are facing a physical portent that executes elements of maximum difficulty. The success of Simone Biles and its competitive capacity are also a consequence of many hours of work. It fails very rarely and responds to the canons of the American schools, which has always been distinguished for its safety. There are two devices in which extreme risks. In the balance bar he performs a double mortal and each one of the mortals accompanies him with a longitudinal turn, supported on a surface of 10 ten centimeters. On the ground, there are three pirouettes between the two mortals. It rotates very well, both longitudinally and transversally, backed by its physical strength.

Biles has appeared at the World Cup in the sweetest point of his career, with the degree of experience necessary to develop all his talent. Sometimes it is difficult to return after a while without competing, but she has shown that she loves gymnastics and has returned at a higher point than she had left her: even firmer, more serene and increased her audacity. Comparing times is complicated, since gymnastics has evolved a lot and there were also changes in the scoring codes. Modifications in some devices favor raising the level of risk. Nadia Comaneci popularized gymnastics as no one had done until its emergence, although before this sport had already enjoyed figures of the dimension of Larisa Latynina or Olga Korbut.

Saving the distances in his favor, who Biles assimilates most is his compatriot Mary Lou Retton, the great protagonist of the Angels Games. The North Americans are nourished by the power to raise the difficulty, unlike schools like the Russian or the Chinese. Biles conditions are superlative. If there are no injuries, he is called to be one of the stars of the Tokyo Games, where he can continue rewriting history.
