I love Simone a lot but her artistry (extensions, toe point etc) is something that still needs improving. I would love her more if she would do an easier line on floor but add some graceful dance elements or show a beautiful extension. I bet she will win everything even with an "easier" exercise, but more artistic
I dont know anything about gymnastics. Even less than a 4 year casual viewer. but I did watch rio2016. I like her floor exercise as well as Aly's gutsy performances at the team event and individual event.
My point is that Simone Biles' tech difficulty is kinda different from figure skating point **** though backloading everything or tano/rippon everything.
I doubt that in the near future any new comers can do the tech difficulty that Simone Biles is doing now. but I would expect more girls backloading and tano/rippon everything.
EDIT: another thing I kinda like US gymnastics floor routine is that their choreo is really connected to the music. they may has less extension or lines. but they got the music connection which is much more trivia in gymnastics than in figure skating. But I personally really appreciate their effort on that.
