Simone Biles was competing at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championship over the weekend
Simone Biles of Team United States performs her new jump routine 'Biles II' Yurchenko double pike vault on Vault during Women's Qualifications on Day Two of the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships at the Antwerp Sportpaleis on October 01, 2023 in Antwerp, Belgium. Simone Biles once again proved that she’s the GOAT by being the first woman to land the Yurchenko double pike.The difficult move wasn’t perfect with Biles taking a single backward step when she hit her landing.
Still, the Yurchenko is now being renamed the Biles II to mark what she’s accomplished. Typically the Yurchenko is performed by men completing the roundoff into a springboard with a back handspring onto the vault. It ends with a piked double backflip before landing.
She had dropped out of several events at the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo after she had a case of the “twisties,’ becoming disorientated during one of her events.Danny Glover will play Santa Claus in upcoming film, ‘The Naughty Nine’Stevie Nicks announces Barbie doll made in her likeness
