Simone Biles is among the greatest gymnasts ever and also the most decorated athlete in her sport. Having risen to the spotlight in 2013 with her senior debut in professional gymnastics, Biles hasn't looked back since.

She hasn't competed in professional gymnastics since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to mental health reasons. Biles has been concentrating on her personal life during her time off from gymnastics. The champion gymnast got engaged to her boyfriend Jonathan Owens in 2022. She is set to get married in 2023.

However, despite her not competing, fans of the great gymnast are reliving her best moment by watching video clips of Biles in action in the gymnastics arena. In a tweet by a user, a video of Simone Biles performing was posted. Along with the video, the Twitter user wrote:

"Biles launches into the triple-double at about 14.7 miles per hour from a 71-degree angle. She reaches a peak of 10.5 feet and travels 6.5 feet from where she launched. The impact force from the landing is 382 pounds of force, which is more than three times the gymnast's weight."

The video clip appears to be from a US Olympic Team Trials event, but we are not sure which year the video is from. The tweet has been attached below.

Reacting to the video clip of Simone Biles' magnificent jump speed, another user wrote:

"And that's what makes her so special."

Even when she is not competing, the decorated gymnast doesn't fail to amuse her fans and followers.
