Simone Biles! Wow!

[faerywings]

I have to admit, I don't watch any sports anymore but every time I see Simone Biles show up on my news feed, I am left speechless. She is amazing. I am someone who can barely touch my toes and here she is flying through the air twisting in all sorts of directions and making it look fun and effortless. Any other fans of hers out there?

If you haven't seen it, here is a link to her floor routine.
Incredible. SMH.

I don't watch sports either, but am a total fangirl when it comes to the Olympics. Really looking forward to seeing more of this kind of athleticism as the summer goes on!

Yes! When I saw it pop up on my feed I couldn't wait to see it. She is a phenomenal athlete. I can't wait to see more. I loved the back of her leotard, with the GOAT (Greatest One of All Time) She proves it time & time again.

Sports on tv here is mostly football. But during olympics we get a lot more different sports, she is def something to look out for!

I noticed that too-- she is a GOAT!

The Federation of International Gymnastics is so doing her wrong. She is not getting enough credit for what she accomplished.

Gymnastics and figure skating area my favorite olympics events! This was really cool to watch. She really, really is the G O A T! the flips and spins - wow.

Cute story-- when Caitlyn was 2, she loved to watch the gymnastics on the YV with me- she called them the "girls go wheeee" and taught herself how to do somersaults. She loved taking gymnastics classes until we had to pull her out because of Lyme Disease. That is one thing she regrets most about getting sick, that she had to give that up and will never be that limber again

They are my favorites as well. Back when I was much younger, I had a swimsuit that looked like Mary Lou Retton's leotard when she competed in the Olympics. I was a huge Mary Lou Retton fan.

Me thinks we need photo proof.

I wish I had photo proof. My mom was not someone who took pictures of everything, so i don't have one. (Or she took a photo and if didn't turn out. Always a gamble in the she before digital.)
