Imagine that you are part of the crowd, looking at the indisputable queen of gymnastics, Simon Bilz, doing what nobody has seen is a step that can always change female gymnastics forever

The field is not only coups or turns. This is a moment with deeper meaning, one that could revolutionize the very nature of sports. When Simone Biles stepped into the spotlight on her Gold Over America Tour, audiences expected greatness, but what they witnessed suggested a revolution. On September 17, the tour kicked off in Oceanside, California, before moving to Phoenix, where basketball legends Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, and Kalia Copper joined the crowd. The energy was electric, but it wasn’t just the star-studded crowd or the flawless performances that caught the eye—it was one particular move by Biles. The fan page “Gymnastics Coaching” pointed out that Biles had incorporated an unusual technique usually reserved for men’s gymnastics: the mushroom pommel technique. Yes, you read that correctly. The transition from the men’s gymnastics circuit to the women’s circuit.

Could this be the start of something entirely new for women’s gymnastics? The idea has already sparked playful debate, with Jessica O’Byrne, host of the podcast GymCastic, jokingly calling for mushrooms to be recognized as a legal tool in women’s competitions. Whether it’s a joke or a vision for the future, one thing is clear: Simone Biles has done it again. She’s pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, and the gymnastics world may never be the same
