Simone Biles recently shared the reason why she did not attempt a specific gymnastic routine on uneven bars at the Paris Olympics. Biles secured three gold and one silver medal at the Games in team, all-around, vault, and floor exercise, respectively. The multiple-time Olympic medalist fell short of earning a spot in the uneven bars final. She posted 14.433 points, while the qualification list closed at 15.600 points. More than a year after the Paris Games, a fan shared a video of Biles performing a Weiler 1.5 on uneven bars in a training session, asking her why she opted to ditch the move in the Olympics. The Weiler 1.5 includes a backward circle through a handstand with straight arms, in a piked position, followed by 1.5 twists before regrasping the bar."@Simone_Biles now that everything is quite and Paris was a year ago, can you give us the behind the scenes tea on the Weiler 1.5 👀 ,' the fan wrote. "Like what was the thought process behind the skill and/or if you actually intended to compete it🫶🏻"To which the gymnast replied she had planned to perform the routine only if she had made it to the finals."If I made bar finals I was going to compete it !!! soooo close"🤞🏼Simone Biles @Simone BilesLINKif I made bar finals I was going to compete it !!! soooo close 🤞🏾Simone Biles once reflected on mastering a difficult straddle back on the uneven bars.

She further added that being a power gymnast, she is used to controlling the apparatus, when it should be the other way round. "I didn’t love that apparatus the way I loved all the others, and at first my instinct was to avoid it. Aimee (Boorman) explained bars were harder for me because I was so short and my hands were small. That’s why the jump to the regulation height high bar felt like a crazy daredevil move.""Bars can also be tougher for a power gymnast, which I definitely was, because power gymnasts are used to controlling the apparatus instead of letting it control them. I had to be willing to let the bar swing me around. I had to find the flow and get in sync with the bar, and I had to let it control me," Simone Biles addedSimone Biles has won only one medal (bronze at the 2018 World Championships) in uneven bars at the highest sporting stage.
