Only FIVE WOMEN in HISTORY have pulled off this move 

Trinity‘s is definitely a different skill. What a cool skill

I've never realized the real difficulty of the skill even it's not the most difficult one. But only Simone does it like Simone. It's impressive that others managed to do Biles I, but Simone's execution is something else. 🐐❤‍🔥

When I first started watching gymnastics (RECENTLY btw, like this year), seeing this skill was magic to me. She does it so quickly that you can't even see the half turn, she just magically enters the flip one direction and comes out facing the other. It's so cool.

I remember when Trinity did that skill and people were like idk what that is but it's not the Biles haha I think it looks cooler honestly

Oh I love Trinity's version! The forward somersault out is so beautiful :)

I remember the first time I saw it during 2013 worlds. It was simply a double layout but the the half turn took me by surprise so much I had to rewind because I didn't get what happened. It's still one of my favorite skills, specially the way Simone does it with the half turn so late it look like she magically just landed backwards.

This was fun to watch. I love how Trinity does her twist mid salto and makes it a front layout. I am so excited she is training to return to elite for the olympic year. I love how the college athletes are redifining gymnastics again. 2024 is going to be such an exciting year for the sport.

Trinity’s version is a laid out “back-in, Arabian-out”. It’s basically between a Biles 1 and a Dos Santos 2. But the timing of the twist makes it a unique skill. If she ever competes this internationally, I would credit it as a different skill (called a “Trinity” since there’s already a different, banned skill called the “Thomas”). The FIG is very inconsistent with the naming and classification of certain skills. For example, a double layout, full-out is called a Chusovitina, however a double-layout, full-in is also commonly referred to as a Chusovitina even though it’s clearly a different skill. A full twist on the second somersault is more difficult, yet they are given the same rating. Yet, a Dos Santos 2 (laid out double Arabian) is considered a different skill than a Biles 2 (double layout, half-out) and given a different rating. This makes sense as twisting earlier gives you a forward rotation which is more difficult. Speaking of Arabian skills, another inconsistency would be how these skills are rated differently in men’s gymnastics than women’s. In MAG, Arabian skills are considered “backward” skills because the entry is backwards. Thus, they are rated as less difficult than forwards entry somersaults. But in WAG, Arabian skills are considered “forward” skills because the landing is forward and blind. I don’t agree with this because a double Arabian is clearly much easier to execute than a standard double front. This is true regardless of apparatus as well. A Produnova off beam for example is more difficult than a Patterson off beam. So their logic is very inconsistent when it comes to rating Arabian skills, and distinguishing skills that initiate a twist at a different point in the somersault.

Nobody does this skill as beautifully as Simone

You knew that this young lady would have an exceptional career (barring any major injuries or worse of course) when at her VERY FIRST World competition she successfully got a skill named after her. Yes, Simone was destined for greatness and ten years later she is still doing great things. I love the fact that the Biles 1 on floor was performed TEN YEARS later in the SAME CITY and arena by someone else other than Simone though because I had always hope to see Simone inspiring others to try her skills. That Hillary Heron was confident and able to do so twice now internationally bodes well for her I think and I look forward to see who else would follow. I would soooooo love for Trinity to do her version on an international stage as well whether it could be called the Biles 1 or not, she is a very beautiful gymnast to watch. More than anything, I look forward to Simone stamping her name some more in the COP. All hail the QUEEN!

Bile, is simply born to do this,amazing gymnist

I am absolutely amazed by these young ladies. The dedication and courage it has to take to achieve that level of excellence is incredible. I watch gymnastics every time I can catch it on tv or online.

I much prefer the Biles I to the full or double twisting double layouts. It’s way more elegant. Those with more twists just look messy and you can no longer appreciate the beautiful laid out shape. Trinity Thomas’s move is amazing too and deserves to be its own skill, if she can get to an international competition.

The Biles I is a double layout with a half turn, no specification on where the twist needs to happen, so while Trinity's is unique, it is still a Biles I

black women for the win!!!❤

That's just a crazy move. These gymnasts defy the laws of gravity.

She's so electrifying

Thomas competed what should be the Thomas, tbh. it's 1.5 layout to full layout.

1:14 pra mim isso aqui é outro elemento, o biles é um duplo esticado com meia volta, a trinity faz um mortal esticado e uma meia volta, pra mim é outro elemento

She is phenomenal!

Daiane dos Santos (BRA) já contou em um podcast que ela treinava o Biles I como aquecimento para realização do Dos Santos II. Oleg Ostapenko, técnico dela, pensava que o movimento já havia sido homologado e por isso, nunca investiram em realizá-lo em competições.

The Dos Santos II is more difficult and we don't have gymnasts using them in competitions.

For some reason I like Trinity's version best. It just looks sharper to me.

While the last girl completed the the move, her legs are not together after the second turn going into the twist, and she would continually get deductions for that, but I applaud all these young ladies for completely such a difficult and beautiful move.

The Trinity Thomas version is more crafty. We love the variation she brought to this routine, but it's still a Biles since the routine is not changed fundamentally.

Notice how all of them are Black young women. This Biles 1 is super special in my opinion.

Reminds me of the MAG Tamayo

Simone is so fucking good in it great work Simone the best there is

Maybe Trinity Thomas should have her own Eponymous .It's SO different - is it a new skill , , ,?

Wow and they're all bronze women at that. The superior ones!!

bri clark is actually a clemson gymnast now :)

Trinity's skill is beautiful and definitely not the same as the Biles. I like it better actually.

Unpopular opinion: Should be the same rating with the chuso cause the bling landing.

Anyone else noticed that only black women are performing this skill? I found this quite interesting. 🤔

These women are incredible athletes and I admire them. What I don't like is all the dress code rules they have to follow. The worst one is the requirement to wear these very skimpy costumes and they are not allowed to wear a leotard like the men. Can anyone explain the rationale for this? I've read many stories about the embarrassment and difficulties it causes these women especially the younger ones. Ive seen many videos on RU-vid of female gymisists which are only posted for sensationalism not their athletic abilities.

Simone Biles IS AMAZING! Love to watch her. She's BRILLIANT! She's also a real cutie.

OMG. OMG.

WOOOOOOW! 😮😊❤

Heron has the technique she just needs to clean it up; be more straight, legs glued & feet pointed it would be incredibly beautiful.

Thomas' skill should be considered unique, surely it's a more difficult skill as the forward Salto has a blind landing?

Trinity’s skill should be called the backwards Chusovitina lol. Or a ‘back chuso’

What about Dominique Dawes ?

Yeah I think Trinity's version should be considered a different skill.

Black girl magic ❤

It shouldn’t be called the Biles since London did it first.

Anyone else notice that only blacks have performed it? Magic.

Trinity's version is prettier in my opinion and I feel like it should be its own skill

i wonder if simone will ever get rid of the biles 1 on floor if she doesn't figure it out. i know she's only been back for a while and she can probably get it back to 2016 level, but if she doesn't figure it out and replaces it with something else that's G value or some type of connection bonus, something really consistent, she is basically guranteed a 15+ everytime without any major mistake, because those 14.6's at worlds were usually because of 0.5ish from that pass

Gorgeous! Where's double arabian straight created by Daiane dos Santos?

I completely understand that Trinity's take on a Biles I could be considered a different skill, but to be frank I don't see it that way. Take Melanie De Jesus Dos Santos for example. She competes a tucked full-in but she doesn't grab her legs to increase the rotation like other athletes. Does that make Melanie's tumbling pass her own skill? No, it' just a different way of performing the same skill. In my book, Trinity's version of the Biles I should not merit being a new skill as it's just a different way of doing a double layout half out. Granted, I love the way she performs this skill.

First.
