The videos of Simone achieving the pass have millions of views already, but my personal favorites are the slow-mo versions, which are extremely necessary given Simone's speed. Please enjoy this slow-mo clip of Simone making history

While competing in Kansas City yesterday, Simone landed a triple-twisting double flip during her floor routine.

What an amazing athlete and an incredible athletic body. What she can do on a pummel horse.

Wow! The only thing missing was the red cape and the big “S” across her gymsuit.

Thighs of steel, and a gyroscopic inner ear. Amazing!

Here’s a little thought experiment: What would Freepers say if Simone Biles were to take a knee next time she ascends the medal platform?

Overcame abuse. Incredible athlete. I do wonder what kind of toll that takes on the body. Her joints at 50 might be a mess.

What ifs are a waste of time. If she does, I’ll make sure to give my opinion.
