Just Four Inches PO24-49
Many things amaze me about women's gymnastics, many, but the balance beam just boggles my mind. Just four inches wide and just over three feet in the air, it seems a strange place to do such feats of aerobatics. And then here is Simone Biles (USA) spinning around three times on one foot atop this narrow expanse. Her routine enabled her to take the lead in this rotation, a lead she never gave back up! She has again won the Gold Medal as the world's best female gymnast! She truly is the G.O.A.T. It was fun to notice that she was wearing a silver goat as a necklace in her post event interview. Perhaps someone will get her a new gold one.
