Date: August 4th, 2024 8:04 AM Author: hyperventilating boiling water Yeah it seems like her base scores are so many points above anyone else that it doesnt really matter what they do on their routines, they cant win.
Her advantages arent there on uneven bars, where she didnt even qualify. |

Date: August 4th, 2024 9:01 AM Author: insecure diverse home Not sure anyone itt said there’s anything wrong with it. And I don’t think being 9th best in the world at the bars is bad at it.
People are just asking what about her abilities makes her not as good on the bars. Reasonable question. |

Date: August 4th, 2024 9:12 AM Author: Fragrant rehab Despite all the shit that Biles takes on this board, she triumphed bigtime in these 2024 olympics. But aesthetically, the thing that bothered me, is that the Brazilian girl did a graceful jump and absolutely stuck the landing on some event. Meanwhile, Biles was stumbling, but the announcers were like "oh her degree of difficulty was so much higher than everyone else, so even after a small deduction, she still wins by a massive amount." So what I'm saying here is I would like graceful execution to be important. Even though I do recognize Biles's athleticism and skill.

|
Date: August 4th, 2024 10:33 AM Author: multi-colored coffee pot main people yeah think that was on vault her tumbling ability is basically an exploit that breaks the scoring system - she visibly doesn’t even attempt to stick landings bc it doesn’t matter unfortunate consequence of the change from the previous scoring system where difficulty was effectively capped and technique was more in focus because of the potential for deductions |

|
Date: August 5th, 2024 7:55 AM Author: hyperventilating boiling water No doubt that she dominated bigly in these games. A lot of pressure on her, but she didn’t fuck up. Thats commendable.
I just find it stupid and uninteresting to make gymnastics a purely strength sport now. It makes it so that there is no real competition because Biles strength negates all other aspects of the sport. |

Date: August 5th, 2024 10:37 AM Author: Bearded Business Firm Gymnastics events test a pretty wide skillset and reward participants for some combination of explosive athleticism, balance, strength, flexibility and agility.
I don't think anyone is the best at every event because no one, to my knowledge, is better than everyone at the top level in every physical attribute.
You can see it from a very early age. For example in my daughter's gymnastics class of about 6 kids, 1 is the most flexible, another is the strongest while another has the best balance. They are all the same "level" but have different areas where they excel. |
