Entering this weekend’s U.S. championships, gymnast is starting at a different level.
in every Olympic cycle, and gymnasts strategically design routines that work best with those rules. Because of those changes, combined difficulty scores aren’t perfectly comparable over time, but Biles’s 25.7 this month was nearly the same as the 25.8 she tallied on the first day of the Olympic trials in 2021. And her routines seem to be well-constructed: They have those high difficulty values but mostly include skills Biles can perform consistently without much risk of major errors.
At the U.S. Classic, Biles performed a simpler dismount — a full-twisting double tuck, rather than a double-twisting double tuck — but she connected it with a pirouetting element on the high bar. That penultimate skill — when she circles with her toes on the bar, then shoots to a handstand with a full pirouette — was the source of her most visible error. She had to arch her back to keep from falling from the handstand in the wrong direction.
Landi said the philosophy when constructing Biles’s beam routine was, “Do what you have to do and get off.”Biles’s floor routine had the most changes. Only one tumbling pass — a back double layout with a half twist, which is named for Biles, who usually connects it to a jump — remained the same., another element named for her, she opted for a full-twisting double layout, which has a lower difficulty value but for Biles is a consistent option.
Biles used to end with a double-twisting double tuck, but she can’t repeat the element, so now she finishes with a back double layout, a skill that hadn’t been part of her routine since 2014. With these passes, Biles is poised to have the hardest floor routine in the world. Perhaps most impressively, she stayed in bounds at the U.S. Classic with controlled landings, which is often where she has errors because her tumbling explodes with so much excess power.
