Ohh ok this makes more sense now that I see it. It's not actually a 12ft jump, it's a 12ft reach. 12ft jump implies 12ft gap between her and the ground (standing on the ground is 0ft, so), but that was more like 7.5ft. Still crazy, esp while flipping! Everyone saying she was 12ft in the air is definitely misleading 😂
The floor is not like a trampoline. It does help them jump a little higher, but more importantly, helps them land more safely, protecting the ankles and joints. They are barefoot, so they don’t have the support that shoes would provide.
@@worldculturepulse do you realise that the world record vertical jump is 50.5 inches, which is just over 4 feet? I think the record for a woman is like 40 inches, the force from the backhandspring onto the springs is what propels her, not her muscle.
AMAZING! I'm so geeked about the Olympics and watching with my 8 yo daughter. -- After their routines I feel they should walk a little to bring down the heart rate as opposed to sitting right away.
The design of the springs and foam covers in the floor mat is intended to create more bounce for gymnasts who are able to put in more force so they can achieve greater heights. As for Biles, it is the force-to-weight ratio that allows her to jump more than twice her height. The production of more momentum from the application of force that precedes skill and other technical factors leads to this increase.
The mat does not act as a springboard or trampoline. It's actual purpose is to cushion/absorb your landing. She's not gaining much height at all from this thing she could do the same from a concrete floor but landing on such a hard surface would cause injury.
@@ABFABCno it doesn't. I have stood on one one of those floors. It allows you to put more force into the floor without as much pain but it absolutely does not give u any extra height when jumping. Simone might not be able to do this on concrete but only because she's guaranteed to injure herself in the process. If her body was indistructable she could absolutely do this one concrete. My cousin is a professional gymnast and I have first hand experience and knowledge from training in his gym.
It's not "during intermission". The whole thing is a routine. There are choreography requirements. Dance requirements which includes leaps and spins. Tumbling requirements. And the judges really want a routine that flows well and is artistic in nature; hence the sport being called Artistic Gymnastics.
When you have such a high difficulty level, it's nearly impossible to do it perfectly. If you saw a regular person trying to do anything like these skills, you would appreciate them more!
@@ericmartin3396Your daughter was no where near the level of an Olympic athlete and can't jump 12 feet in the air.💀💀 Please think before you speak, your jealousy is showing.
@sqacing6914 Sorry, I'm not jealous, and i know my daughter was not near olympic skill level, but she did have the potential to be. There are other gymnasts who I think are underrated that are better than Simon.

😂 can you jump 3 ft
Go Simone!! Rooting for you!!
Can’t wait!
WOW, WOW, WOW. And the much earned Standing Ovation. ❤🎉❤🎉
She is amazing!
Literally 3x her height!
She’s amazing.
Not quite 3x but absolutely wild
@@JesseLancaster-qw2wq yes 3x her height
@@JesseLancaster-qw2wq shes 4.8 feet and did a 12 foot jump, 2.5x, round that up to 3x 🤷🏼🤣
@@noyesnohahaso its not 3x her height ok 👍
love the instrumental version of are you ready for it ❤️
Great choice!
Newest greatest athlete of this generation. That was incredible.
Easily the greatest olympian
Crazy that Simon Biles can do this without a trampoline
She definitely is made differently, inside, and out.
She is a ball of muscle. Those jumps are incredible!
Total delusion. It's the springs that do it. I doubt she could even test 35 inches doing a running vertical jump

So the other gymnast with the same advantage still coming up short, explains she's still better at leaping...am I right?
wtf 😮😮😮😮 that’s incredible
She is amazing! The GOAT!

The Baki narrator gaslighting me into thinking I can do this shit:

@@schrodinger6261yes it does… no person will ever be able reach 12ft with their head without a trampoline/springy ground

Thanks
Bro Simone Biles is an actual superhuman. Wtf
Incredible!
🎉🎉🎉WOW 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing, right?
✨
Love this.
She's a monster
I hope she comes back for 2028!
Simone is Not Even 5ft tall and she got SOOOO much height
she should join high jumps beat all records forever NO one beat her . 12 feet wow that mean she can high jump 8 or 9 feets.
...no. It really doesn't mean that, at all.
🎉❤😊
Wow, right?
🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Amazing!
Wow
Sometimes that is all we can say. 😂
@@worldculturepulse 😂😂 yh.. speechless
Nice😎👍💯💯💯🔥
🔥!
Does she go 12 on every one of those big jumps ? Or on just one
I believe it is just the first tumbling pass, the triple twisting double tuck.
12 feet!! So she jumps and gets in top of my house roof! Damm who is measuring those jumps!!
She is so amazing!
It's not actually her being 12ft up it's her toes reaching 12ft
The gymnastics parts are out of this world. Amazing.
But why on earth do they have to do these weird dance moves during intermission?

Gymnastics has definitely changed. More power, but less emphasis on the ballet aspect.
Armchair quarterbacks know nothing. They must be spoonfed can't give it to em all at once.
She stepped out and got the yellow flag. Better luck next year Biles.
He said as she won the gold medal
What next year? This is probably her last Olympics and will probably retire and make hundred of millions of endorsement dollars going out on top!
Stepping out of bounds is a small deduction. She has so much power, it can be difficult to stay in.
Not impressed. She made a few mistakes.
Let’s see you do it better

@worldculturepulse no I wouldn't. My daughter use to do gymnastics when she was younger
