The Gymternet also chimed in, offering insights into the extraordinary power and control that Simone Biles commands, saying, “Simone Biles VT: Yurchenko double pike, just a bit too powerful and she lands it on her back. I feel like only Simone could over rotate a YDP. Maybe intentional??

The post continued, ?Idk, it honestly could have been. She was smiling when she got up and it didn?t look like she tried to land it, tbh. 14.550 (6.4, 8.650, -0.5).” The Yurchenko double pike (YDP) is a move that only Simone Biles has ever attempted, making her fall all the more unexpected and upsetting. But the Yurchenko double pike fall was not the only challenge Simone Biles faced during the night.
