Simone Biles / High Jump WR

Biles regularly competes in the men's competitions also, and has won all competitions easily. She also has won 32 gold medals in the Olympics, only athlete to win both men's and women's gold medals.

Lol. Yes. The only reason women's gymnastics is being mentioned here is because Biles is black. Have to pump her up.

Just like in the Javelin when the Kenyan Yego was a big thing here. However when the Germans took over it was not cool and fun anymore, and the throwers themselves were no longer impressive even though they were all throwing farther than Yego threw..once.

Biles 4 hardest floor tumbling passes she has performed in competition:

double flip with 3 twists tucked

double flip with 2 twists straight

double flip with half twist straight connected to an immediate front flip straight

double flip with 2 twists tucked

That is harder than any 4 tumbling passes in an *American* male floor routine. It is of course hard to compare a male routine to a female routine, but its pretty safe to say that if she entered a male *American* floor competition she would win or a least challenge for the gold. No woman could even come close to saying that in any track event. Now of course there are men from other countries capable of consistently hitting a floor routine that hard, but they aren't American.

Biles vaults:

-Backflip on to the table and backflip with 2.5 twists off (5.6 start value in mens gymnastics)

-Back flip with half twist on, front flip with double twist off the vaulting table (5.4 start value in mens gymnastics)

These are indeed highly competitive vaults that only the best American men perform. Many of the best men in the world on vault do perform harder moves, but not many. Note, simply doing a double flip (with no twists) is not necessarily harder than these vaults. The handspring double front or tsukahara double back is rated a similar start value to these vaults in mens gymnastics.
