re: Simone Biles with a message for all the girls out there

Biles suggested that the FIG has serially undervalued her skills because "they don't want the field to be too far apart," she told The Times. If the FIG keeps her provisional scores low, Biles' thinking goes, than other gymnasts may have a fighting chance.

This doesn't mean she can't do the skills or won't be judged on them. It also doesn't mean her start value isn't much higher than everyone elses. It is. It juse means that USAG and Biles think her start values should be higher. Any country's organization would be saying that and if Biles were in another country, we'd be arguing that it should be lower.

Most of you people have NO CLUE about how gymnastics scoring works.
