El mundo seguía deslumbrado por sus acrobacias en los Juegos Olímpicos de Río 2016 cuando Simone Biles se vio inmersa en el Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions, una gira por 36 ciudades de Estados Unidos con demasiado que soportar: los beneficios eran para la Federación que tanto le había fallado, cada noche era presentada por el presidente, Steve Penny, imputado por encubrir los abusos del doctor Larry Nassar... A los 19 años y, entre galas benéficas, entregas de premios y late nights, la gimnasta accedió a aquel paripé, sonrió y, en cada espectáculo, voló. Pero ahora todo es distinto.
Before Tokyo's games, Biles already warned the failed United States Federation of Gymnastics that he did not have it and, moreover, that he would not have any of his teammates either.What happened in Japan passed, they would all celebrate it with a self -produced tour and despite the dizziness, despite their absence in most tests, despite the pressure, so it is maintained.This Wednesday the Gold Over America Tour premiered in Tucson with tickets between the 20 and 145 euros and until November 7 will rolle throughout the United States including stops in huge enclosures such as Barclays Center in Brooklyn [19.000 spectators] or Boston's td [19.580 spectators].Another sample of how much the best gymnast in history has changed.
Five years ago, it was an employee.Now, after all, after so much, she is the owner.An example: the sponsor of his tour is no longer Kellogg's, who for years stamped his face in the cereal boxes, if not athlete, the clothing brand that sponsors it after leaving Nike and that, among other things, helps the athletesIf you want to get pregnant.Another example: the choreographers of the event are no longer the former Olympics John Macream and Mary Sanders, linked to other times in American gymnastics, if not the former head of the University of UCLA, Valueie Kondos Field, very well valued by the gymnasts.
The intention is that all participants charge equally and generously for the tour - a six -digit contract, is supposed to do exercises with which they are comfortable.In fact, in the Gold Over America Tour, Biles herself unfolds what happened in Tokyo games and does so in her way: in the air."We have composed a number called 'surpassed' ['Overwhelmed'] in which I explain the anxiety, the depression I felt there and the path I must travel to be happy again," discovered the gymnast to 'Los Angeles Times' after offering afterAnother detail: Katelyn Ohashi also participates in that number, the gymnast who discussed the golds when both were 15 years old, who retired shortly after because of the pressure and reappeared in the NCAA with a very danced soil routine that was madeviral.
Together with Biles and Ohashi, in the show are all the American medalists in Tokyo less Sunisa Lee, that is, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Grace McCullum and Mykayla Skinner and historical of Yankee Gymnastics such as Laurie Hernández or Chellsie Memmel.In most of the show, with the live music of several pop artists, they all appear together choreographies, although there are moments for the individual show that are closer to what happens in competition.In one of those key moments, biles complete something similar to a soil exercise, but always without 'twisties', the air turns that dizzy and tormented him in the last games.
It is not the tour for her if not a fun, a way to get distracted - and enrich yourself, of course - after so many torments, the last, its recent statement in the Senate following the Larry Nassar case."Every day I have something," he said after attending the Video Music Awards and the Met Gala prizes to avoid facing the question that has surpassed him for several weeks: Is it still an active gymnast?"From the games I have only had time to improve my health and prepare for the tour," I said, absent insurance of the next World Cup, and without defining if it will go to the Paris 2024 games or if you will announce your withdrawal before this ends thisanus.It is an unknown, but at least something is clear: now everything depends on it.
