西蒙拜爾斯Simone Biles
見證美國體操天后勇敢向上、脫穎而出 This talented American gymnast leaps over the competition
美國體操選手西蒙拜爾斯在空中飛躍迴旋，彷彿為此而生。
她是史上獲得最多面世界錦標賽金牌的女性體操選手；也是首位連續三屆獲得世錦賽全能冠軍的女體選手。
將近八年的時間，拜爾斯完全制霸體操賽事，因此有些人認為她是史上最偉大的體操運動員，就是GOAT。
拜爾斯每週訓練三十五個小時。
訓練時，她經常會想到新的動作，並將其中一些運用於競賽中。
她在二O一三年世錦賽所展現的一個複雜翻轉動作便是四個以她命名的技巧動作之一。
她持續不斷演繹出令人驚嘆不已的運動技藝；同時，卻又使其看起來絲毫不費吹灰之力。
對觀眾而言，看到拜爾斯毫不費力地表現，很容易就會忘記體操有多麼困難。
體操選手處於巨大的壓力之下，一個小失誤很可能就會造成嚴重的傷害。
在日本東京奥運體操女子團體決賽時，拜爾斯的壓力來到了臨界點。
拜爾斯出現了體操選手稱之為「空中失感」的情況，也就是體操選手在進行空中轉體時無法掌握自己的方向位置。
為了避免置自己及團隊於不利態勢，她選擇退出比賽。
American gymnast Simone Biles flies through the air as though she was made for it. She has won more World Championship gold medals than any other female gymnast in history. She is also the first woman gymnast to win three consecutive World all-around titles. For nearly eight years, Biles has dominated gymnastics competitions, and some consider her the greatest of all time, or the GOAT.
Biles trains 35 hours a week. During training she often comes up with new moves, some of which she uses in competitions.
A complicated flip she introduced in the 2013 World Championships is one of four skills that are named after her. She consistently performs amazing athletic feats while making them look easy.
For spectators, seeing Biles effortlessly perform makes it easy to forget how difficult gymnastics is. Athletes are under an intense amount of pressure, and a small mistake can result in serious injury. At the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, that pressure came to a head during the women's team finals. Biles experienced something gymnasts call "the twisties," which is when a gymnast loses track of where their body is in the air. Instead of putting herself and her team at risk, Biles withdrew from the competition.
