Battle of the TRIPLE DOUBLE | Simone Biles vs Kenzo Shirai 🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏼‍♂️🐐

Watch Simone Biles (WAG: women's artistic gymnastics) versus Kenzo Shirai (MAG: men's artistic gymnastics) as they perform a triple double (the twisties! :) on the floor exercise (including in slow motion).

Simone Biles is an American artistic gymnast. With a combined total of 31 Olympic and World Championship medals, Biles is the most decorated American gymnast and is considered one of the greatest and most dominant gymnasts of all time. Simone Biles is the first woman in history to perform a triple-double -- a double salto backward tuck with 3/1 twist -- during a floor routine. It was named the Biles II. Simone Biles is knows at the GOAT -- Great of All Time!

On July 28, 2021, Biles withdrew from the finals of the individual all-around competition, again citing mental health concerns. Following further medical evaluation on July 30, she also withdrew from the vault and uneven bars finals, both scheduled for the first day of individual event finals. Biles said that she experienced "the twisties", a psychological phenomenon causing a gymnast to lose air awareness while performing twisting elements.

Kenzō Shirai is a Japanese former artistic gymnast with achievements including notably securing the team gold and individual bronze on vault at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Although later an all-around athlete, he is still a floor and vault specialist, who excels in hard-twisting skills/combinations.

This is my small tribute to Simone Biles in anticipation of the upcoming Olympics 2020/2021 in Tokyo. GO TEAM USA!
