Breaking news: Simone Biles Debunks Every Gymnastics Myth | Glamour

The video is about Simone Biles, an Olympic gold medalist gymnast, debunking misconceptions people have about gymnasts.

The video starts with Simone Biles saying that gymnastics is a sport and it is one of the most competitive sports. She trains 32 to 34 hours a week and competes for only three or four minutes. Gymnastics combines all sports in one, requiring speed, agility, jumping ability, and memorization of routines.

Simone Biles also talks about the misconception that gymnasts retire at an early age. She says that gymnasts can go to college and get NCAA scholarships, so they typically retire around 22 or 23. She also addresses the misconception that you need to be rich to get into gymnastics. While it is an expensive sport, it is possible to start gymnastics later in life, as Simone Biles did at six years old.

Another misconception is that gymnasts can’t be afraid of heights. Simone Biles says that she is not afraid of heights when she is flipping in the gym, but she is afraid of jumping off high places. She also talks about how she tries to stay away from extreme sports like bungee jumping and skydiving until her career is over.

Simone Biles also addresses the misconception that gymnasts are not nice and super competitive. She says that she is not very competitive and her goal is never to win. She also talks about how her sister quit gymnastics because of the pressure and comparisons to her.

The video then talks about the misconception that gymnasts are intimidating to men. Simone Biles says that at a young age, gymnasts’ muscles develop faster than other kids, so they are typically stronger than the men in their age group.
