Simone Biles Dissatisfied With Her Own Performance That Included History-Making Dismount
Even on days where she’s far from perfect, Simon Biles is still able to prove that labeling her as the greatest gymnast of all time might be an understatement.

The New USA Gymnastics Director Of Sports Medicine Lasted Just One Day On The Job
It doesn’t seem possible that one organization could find as many different ways to fuck up as USA Gymnastics has over the past several years, but they somehow added another one to the list earlier this week.

The Next Step For Elite Gymnasts Is To Form A Union
At the beginning of November, the USOC announced that it was taking the first step towards decertifying USA Gymnastics.

Simone Biles Is Now The Most Decorated Female Gymnast In World Championships History
Another day, another record for Simone Biles.

She also tied Vitaly Scherbo for most world championship g...
It's Not About Perfection
Simone Biles won her fourth world all-around title on Thursday, but not in the way that she or her coaches or her fans had hoped she would.

How Many Times Can Simone Biles Fall And Still Win Gold?
That Simone Biles was going to win the all-around title at the 2018 world championships was something of a foregone conclusion even before the competition in Doha started.

The Booger Mobile Has Been Taken Down A Notch
For Monday Night Football games, analyst Booger McFarland is placed in a large contraption that strafes the field so he can get a view of the action that he could more or less get from a sideline camera. The Booger Mobile’s value to the TV viewer is debatable, but what’s clear is that it really aggr...
The U.S. Women Are So Good, They Can Afford To Experiment
For a brief moment during today’s women’s team finals at the 2018 world gymnastics championships in Doha, it seemed like a country outside of the traditional three—the U.S., Russia, and China—would grab a team medal. These were the standings at the end of the third rotation, with one to go. While th...

Yesterday Simone Biles was in a significant amount of pain and was brought to the emergency room.

Simone Biles Has All The Power, And She Knows It
I’ve been writing about Simone Biles since 2013, when she made her senior international debut at the American Cup.

Simone Biles Unveils New Vault No Woman Has Ever Done Before, Remains Invincible
Yesterday, USA Gymnastics hosted its selection camp to help choose the five-person team for the upcoming world championships in Doha.
