After Simone Biles’ YDP Glory

During the Women’s Qualifications Day 1 at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, Biles performed a risky Yurchenko double pike, now named after the gymnast as the Biles II. Despite an exceptional technique, a small score was deducted.

Simone gets deduction because of coach

The 26-year-old's significant deduction of 0.634 points came on the landing where she bounced backward. But unusually, judges then lowered Biles’s score by an additional half-point because of her coach Laurent Landi. Why?


Safety hurts Biles' score

To ensure her safety, Laurent had decided to stand on the landing mat. However, Biles was penalized because having a spotter nearby on the vault is against the rules. But what’s concerning is that Biles’s coaches have prioritized safety — shouldn’t the USA Gymnastics do the same?
