That’s impossible, yet there it is.
Me: Acceleration do to gravity is 9.8m/s^2
Simone: Hold my latte.
The “Scambler!”
Congrats to Simone. Truly amazing.
Apparently they can, but very few according to USA Today.
Anyhow, it is massively impressive. Gymnasts are to me the kings and queens of athletes...

Everyone knows, it is rock climbers and ultra runners!!!
Well...I WAS a gymnast (girl) when it was not cool (late 60s)...and I did floor ex...so yes I’ve followed it. I do not believe guys can do the moves Biles does with the smoothness and grace (plus the splits) the way she does. Guys routines are more mechanical.... IMHO. (I’m referring to the whole routine, not just the one move.)
Amazing!!
If I tried this I would land on my head on the first flip then the second flip then the 3rd flip. Just end over end then splat against a wall.
So she did 5 flips and is not even dizzy?
She can out jump anybody in the NBA!
Thank you.
I watched some men’s floor exercise championships and
noticed some of the men with upper body noticeably more developed than their legs.
Also seeing the men use more upper body in the routines.
Guessing the additional weight is NOT an advantage when defying gravity?
