For years in gymnastics, the phrase “the twisties” was usually uttered in hushed tones. Then Simone Biles said it in front of the whole world two summers ago in Tokyo.
in the U.S. Classic in the Chicago suburbs. As of Thursday, the 26-year-old Biles is scheduled to do all four events, including uneven bars, which she acknowledged on her Instagram stories feed this week has been the most difficult discipline to return to “both mentally and physically” because the routines are essentially 45 seconds of uninterrupted flipping, floating and twisting from bar to bar.
More twisting. More flipping. Elements that had come easy to him since he became a gymnast at 13, a unusually advanced age for someone to take up the sport. Not that it stopped him. Within five years Dyer had worked his way into a spot at Oklahoma, one of the dominant men’s programs in the country. To this day, Dyer still isn’t sure what happened. All he knows is that for years he could do a “full in” — a double backflip with a full twist mixed in — and then he couldn’t.“I’m like, ‘if I can’t do this, then I have a serious problem,’” Dyer said.
Dyer likened it to a dream — maybe nightmare is the better word — where you need to run in order to save your life, and you look down and your legs are moving and you’re simply not going anywhere.
