Simone Biles flew 12 feet high during her U.S. Olympic trials floor routine, and fans were in total awe
Simone Biles is obviously an amazing athlete, and her unreal skills were on display this weekend at U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials in Minneapolis.
Unsurprisingly, Biles qualified for her third Olympic team by winning the meet Sunday in dominant fashion. But, as usual, she really dazzled in her incredible floor routine set to Taylor Swift’s music. (Swift recently praised it, saying on Twitter: “Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho”.
Biles’ first tumbling pass in her floor routine is truly unbelievable, and the 27-year-old superstar moves so quickly, it’s almost impossible to count how many rotations she makes.
According to NBC, she peaked at 12 feet in the air, which is so wild and nearly incomprehensible. And USA TODAY Sports reported that her performance was followed by a standing ovation.
