The selective Olympic of the gymnasts of the United States is almost like a World Cup and an Olympic Games in themselves. Because of the historical level of the athletes of that country and because one of them is Simone Biles,
the best in history
. But on Sunday night, the jewel of the sport faltered right on the beam, one of its best gadgets, and
fell
. And while her routine ended, she was
later seen crying
. He will also go to Tokyo 2020, along with Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Grace McCallum, Jade Carey and Mykayla Skinner
Viewers in St. Louis couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Biles performed his routine on the balance beam with great precision after his jump performance.
Suddenly, after an exercise of enormous difficulty, he
lost the line, he juggled not to fall ... but he threw himself to the mat
.

Applause to cheer her up and Biles got on again and finished his routine.
His face said it all.
Frustration.
He walked to a chair, extended his left leg so that they made a "stirrup" with tape and then ...
the unprecedented: he cried
.
Yes, the best woman in history
was crying
and she couldn't stop them.
All the accumulated tension was in his body.

To top it all, he had previously had
a slip on the uneven bars
, when he had a hard time finding the vertical after a movement.
He made such an effort not to fall that he did not fall and continued.
And when she finished and left the competition area, her face was indisputable: she was not happy.
In any case, Biles was not in danger of being left out of the United States Olympic team.

All the bad drink was behind when it was the turn of the floor routine, where she excelled with exercises that only she can perform.
Simone Biles proved that she is human and can be wrong.
But her brilliance is not dull even on a night when she cried.
He won the United States Trials.
His magic can do much more ...
be potete, scusatela.🔥
