Have you heard of the butterfly effect? Simone Biles has unleashed it with a new, groundbreaking routine that is reshaping the world of gymnastics. Known for her iconic moves like the Biles and Biles II, Biles has now introduced a routine that’s truly revolutionary.

From her debut at the 2013 World Championships to her recent performances, Biles has redefined gymnastics with a record 37 medals, including 29 golds. At the

2024 U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth, Texas, she showcased her evolution as an athlete by setting a new standard.

Biles performed the Biles II, a triple twisting double back tuck, and used Taylor Swift’s “Ready for It” to capture her bold, fearless spirit. She dominated every event-bars, beam, floor, and vault-scoring a total of 119.75 and clinching her ninth national all-around title, surpassing any other U.S. gymnast’s record.

Her routine featured a complex series of moves, including the Yurchenko Double Pike vault and an innovative dismount from the bars combining two twists and two somersaults. These elements are so challenging that they are almost beyond belief.

Biles’ creativity and precision in her performances have left both judges and fans in awe.

Biles’ preparation goes beyond physical training. She prioritizes mental health through regular therapy and a balanced training regimen, ensuring she is both physically and mentally prepared. Her approach has not only enhanced her performance but also set a new standard for the sport.
