Now that we’ve had a strong day of “Simone Biles is again…IS SHE GOOD?” takes following the announcement that she’ll compete at Basic, right here’s a take a look at her routines from 2021 (I used those from nationals) and the way they stand as much as the changes within the 2022-2024 code of factors.

| Whole D – 6.2 | Whole D – 5.8 |
The key compositional change required in Simone’s routines comes on bars as a result of, if she had been to carry out her earlier routine, she would get zero credit score for the piked Tkatchev because the code now prohibits a number of Tkatchev variations with out twisting from the identical root circle—on this case an enormous swing.
As a result of she can also be already counting the utmost variety of toe-on abilities on this routine, probably the most easy answer can be to vary one of many Tkatchev variations to be from a clear-hip, Stalder, or (heaven forbid) inbar circle in order that she will be able to get credit score for each once more.
Altering that first Tkatchev together to both a Hindorff or Ricna would add a tenth in ability worth, restore the E credit score for the Tkatchev piked, and restore 0.2 in connection worth for that second piked Tkatchev sequence (downgraded from 0.3 CV within the earlier code), which might deliver her as much as a 6.4 D rating.
Both that or a extra drastic reorganization of the bars routine.

Two code adjustments have an effect on Biles’ beam routine, although the lack of 0.2 dismount connection worth is counterbalanced by the addition of the 0.2 dismount bonus, in order that one is a wash.
The one different difficulty is the change of approach for facet jumps on beam, the place the earlier strategy of 1/2 flip—cut up—1/2 flip now not will get full credit score. Biles may alter the approach to get these 0.4 again and return to six.7 for this routine (6.8 if she performs the double double dismount, but it surely’s not value sufficient to be a factor)—or simply ditch them, or exchange them with different abilities. Or no matter.

Flooring is the place Simone has gained tenths within the new code with out altering something, as her top-difficulty flooring routine from 2021 is unchanged in ability worth and connection bonus however will get up over the heralded 7.0 problem mark with the addition of the dismount bonus.
