The videos of Simone achieving the pass have millions of views already, but my personal favorites are the slow-mo versions, which are extremely necessary given Simone's speed. Please enjoy this slow-mo clip of Simone making history
While competing in Kansas City yesterday, Simone landed a triple-twisting double flip during her floor routine. For those of us who are nodding along without knowing what that actually is (i.e. ME), all you really need to know is that pass consists of three twists and two flips, and it's nearly impossible to do.

What an amazing athlete and an incredible athletic body. What she can do on a pummel horse.

Wow! The only thing missing was the red cape and the big “S” across her gymsuit.

Thighs of steel, and a gyroscopic inner ear. Amazing!

And it's better than the Triple Lindy.

Here’s a little thought experiment: What would Freepers say if Simone Biles were to take a knee next time she ascends the medal platform?

Seriously, that was brilliant.

Have you seen this girl? I think she’s better.

Overcame abuse. Incredible athlete. I do wonder what kind of toll that takes on the body. Her joints at 50 might be a mess.

What ifs are a waste of time. If she does, I’ll make sure to give my opinion.
