Coming back to the gymnastic track after seven weeks, Simone Biles just perfected a "triple-twisting double back off the balance beam." According to the Olympic Channel, this move has never been done before until the Artistic gymnast showed the world how to.

Simone is known for taking risks at gymnastic podiums. She performed the "hardest move in the world" at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships last year. She is famous for flipping and spinning vault moves that require a lot of strength, that are, notoriously difficult to pull off. She has also been training to master the Yurchenko double pike, a vault that some consider too dangerous for the Olympics.

What You Should Know

• Gymnast Simone Biles just pulled off a move that has never been done before.
• Sharing a video of her training session, she casually wrote, "sometimes I flip and what not".
• She performed the "hardest move in the world" at the US Gymnastics Championships last year.
• She has been training to pull off a vault that is considered dangerous for the Olympics.

Even being stuck at home, Simone managed to keep up with the trends like launching her own version of taking-off -sweatpants-while-maintaining-a-free-handstand challenge and athletes around the world participated. "This week, they're starting getting their skills back and having a little bit more fun at the gym," said her coach Cecile Landi.

What Simone pulled off in the latest video is just a warm-up for the four-time Olympic gold medallist. She cannot perform this move at the Tokyo Olympic Games next year because it has already been ruled too risky by the IOC.

“I feel that I didn't come this far to just give up,” Biles said in an interview with BBC Sport in April, “and I want to be the one who makes the decision if I'm done with the sport or not."

The gymnast is focusing on some new moves and recently performed another gravity-defying vault that took over the internet. “They keep asking us to do more difficulty and to give more artistry, give more harder skills,” Biles said at the time. “So we do, and then they don’t credit it, and I don’t think that’s fair.”
