Simone Biles – How You Make History and Then Move On

She is incredible. And here’s what gets me about this history-making dismount? She does a double-double from the beam. She executes perfectly and her only acknowledgment that she’s just made history (again)? A tiny “yeah” with her hands.

Watch from 1:22 until 1:29 and you’ll see what I mean. She didn’t stop everything to celebrate. She acknowledged that she’d just changed the game forever, and she moved on. She still had a triple-double to perform on the floor exercise (and make history yet again) She works on what matters.

What a competitor. What an athlete. Just wow.
