Simone loved the classes，and she was excellent at climbing，swinging，jumping，and tumbling（翻筋斗）.Though she had a lot to learn，the coaches could hardly keep up with Simone.
When one girl performed a standing back tuck（翻折），Simone was sure she could do one too.Her coach didn't believe her，so Simone tried the trick and made it on the spot.
