Simone Biles Was Once Penalized for Performing a Dangerous Trick for an Absurd Reason-“Just Have to Take it and Be Quiet”

Being extraordinarily talented like Simone Biles comes with certain terms and conditions; one of which is, you should always be at the top of your game. People will have unrealistic expectations from you and sometimes your most prolific performances would go unrewarded. Perhaps that’s the cost of greatness; you are often denied what you deserve.
The most decorated gymnast celebrated her 25 birthday on March 14th with her future husband, Jonathan Owens. They went on a trip to Turks and Caicos for the celebration and are currently enjoying probably their last pre-marriage vacation together.

Simone Biles being penalized for an extraordinary performance
Imagine performing a perfect quad axel in figure skating and not receiving any points for it. Yes, it may sound ridiculous, but a similar thing happened with Simone Biles once. The Olympic champion once landed a perfect Yurchenko double pike in a competition. In fact, she is the only gymnast ever to perform this dangerous feat.

While she would have been rewarded a full score for such an amazing display, the judges gave her a 6.6, which actually feels like a penalty given the risk involved in the trick. However, the judges did so because Yurchenko double pike has a low starting score.
Biles, obviously furious by the judgment, said, “I feel like now we just have to get what we get because there’s no point in putting up a fight because they’re not going to reward it. So we just have to take it and be quiet.”
