Simone Biles' coach said the gymnast is practicing the Yurchenko double pike, a complex vault also known as the Biles II.
American gymnast Simone Biles looked poised for victory at the 2024 Summer Olympics as she and the other members of the U.S. women's gymnastics team conducted a podium training at Paris' Bercy Arena on Friday. During practice, Biles stuck a complex vault, the Yurchenko double pike. The move is considered the most difficult vault in women's gymnastics, and it was renamed the Biles II in 2023, after she became the first woman to land it in international competition.
She pulled out of the women's team final and only competed on the balance beam, earning a bronze medal for a watered-down routine. Since then, Biles has been vocal about how therapy has helped her achieve a better state of mind. The other members of Team USA mostly matched Biles with solid routines, though Lee, who took home three medals in Tokyo, took a fall on her beam mount. Landi said that the gymnasts are feeling good about the arena, which features dark seats and pink and white mats.
