TikToker's Recreation Of Simone Biles' Olympics Floor Routine Goes Viral

Simone Biles' electrifying floor routine, set to a high-energy medley of Taylor Swift's "Ready For It?" and Beyoncé and Travis Scott's "Delresto (Echoes)," has taken the internet by storm.

Her execution and powerful performance, highlighted by a Yurchenko double pike that earned a standing ovation, has inspired many.

Simone Biles' historic floor routine, which led Team USA to gold, has ignited a social media frenzy. In fact, a TikTok user has already recreated her iconic performance, and that, too, has gone viral.

Biles’ 2024 floor routine is a blend of athleticism and artistry. The choreography, a collaborative effort with French dance expert Milan, showcases a narrative of growth and resilience.

“I wanted to have an Alvin Ailey mindset just because of what they represented,” Grégory Milan, the French choreographer behind the routine, told the New York Times “At the beginning, I had in mind that she would do something that shows she’s emerging, that she’s breaking the barriers a bit of gymnastics to say: ‘It’s over now, I’m not a little girl anymore. After everything I’ve gone through, I’m now a businesswoman, I’m a married woman, I’m a happy woman.'”

After taking home the tea gold, Simone Biles spoke to reporters, explaining how the girls came together to support one another and take the top spot on the podium.

"We were just having a good time while we were getting ready," Biles said, per NBC. "And we all knew what the job was once we got in here."

Biles' routine kicked off to a thunderous start with a powerful opening set to Swift's intense "Ready For It?" before heading into a triple-double tumbling pass.

While the TikToker didn't attempt the tumbling passes at home, he did execute the dance moves perfectly, receiving praise from many. "

"Ok gold medal, I see you!" one user commented after watching the recreation.

"I didn’t realize this wasn’t Simone until about halfway through," another said.

"10s! 10s! 10s!" a third expressed.

After the floor routine went viral, the pop star took to social media to give Biles her stamp of approval.

"Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho," Swift wrote on X after seeing Biles's performance, which was inspired by Alvin Ailey, whose dance company, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, revolutionized the world of modern dance.

For approximately 12 seconds, Biles' routine transforms into an expressive dance worthy of the stage as she kicks her left leg up and throws her head back to take a large, exaggerated step. With her hands clenched into fists, she reaches up and out, repeating the movement with her right leg.

She then raises her arms and spins gracefully on one foot, lifting her other leg behind her before she transitions into a body roll that flows into a bow, resembling a figure-four yoga position.

Simone Biles’ artistry shines through her gravity-defying routines, as shown by the four intricate tumbling passes that form the core of her performances.

“I wanted her to appear noble with something very pure, with her magnificent arms, the look in her eyes. I wanted something more athletic, more square, more geometrical,” Milan said of the choreography. “Sometimes you don’t need too much, just a look, a way to position your arm, the way you carry a movement, and that’s what Simone succeeded in doing."

"We feel she’s at peace, she’s happy, she’s calm so that when she heads to the corner to do her big tumbling passes, she needs to feel grounded, feel strong, feel safe to start her tumbling pass," he continued.

While she and the rest of the team took home gold in the team finals earlier this week, Simone Biles isn't done, as she is ready to compete in the individual all-around on Thursday.

Suni Lee will also join as Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezley Rivera cheer their teammates on.
