Simone Biles Dials Up the Difficulty, ‘Because I Can’
The Olympic gold medalist’s new vault is so dangerous that gymnastics, for now, limits the scoring rewards for trying it. Biles says that’s unfair.
Hasnain says:
As one Twitter commented so eloquently put it:
“Judges are scoring her new move at a lower difficulty out of “fear that Biles is so good that she might run away with any competition she enters simply by doing a handful of moves that her rivals cannot.””
Michael Phelps gets lauded for having genetic advantages no one has - but she does things so we it’s suddenly unfair to everyone else?
I wonder what the difference here is /s
