Bet you thought we couldn’t get more excited to see Biles back in action. 😱 👏
•
American superstar Simone Biles submitted an original skill on uneven bars to the International Gymnastics Federation on Friday. ‼️
•
She already has five skills named after her in the Women’s Code of Points—two on vault, two on floor, and one on balance beam. If she successfully completes the skill during women’s qualifying on Sunday, she’ll be the only active gymnast with a skill named for her on all four events. 😤
•
The skill Biles submitted requires her to do a forward circle around the lower bar before turning a handstand into a 540-degree pirouette. According to the IGF, the skill is a variation of an element named for Canadian gymnast Wilhelm Weiler, which Biles has already performed several times throughout her career. 🤸
•
FUN FACT: With her submission, Biles will be one of four female gymnasts who may attempt new elements during the Paris Olympics. 👀 #thegist
