Clemson Gymnastics Star shook the entirety of the gymnastics community on 1st of March when the Clemson gymnast pulled off one of the most legendary moves known to the sport, Biles 1. Much to the legacy of Simone Biles, Biles 1 is one of the 5 moves named after the legendary athlete. With her bravery on Thursday, the athlete is now one of the club of athletes to have pulled off the Biles 1 on the floor, the rest being Simone Biles herself, Trinity Thomas, Hillary Heron, and London Phillips. And now what the fans ask, is she going for the rest of them as well? Clark has an answer.

Appearing on ESPN’s Women Crush Wednesday, on the 5th of March 2025, Brie Clark was asked the same question by the interview that is on everyone’s mind. Talking about the 5 moves named after Biles, she asked, “Are you trying to do any other ones?” to which the gymnast responded with a chuckle before saying, “I wish but I am just sticking.”

The Utah State School passout could not even complete her worst before cracking up again. But do not rule out the possibility that she might pull off any other of these moves since Biles is an inspiration to her, citing, “She’s somebody that I’ve looked up to for a really long time and she’s inspired me throughout my time, doing gymnastics.” Biles also had a very wholesome reaction after watching Brie’s heroic.

The Biles 1 is one thing of beauty to watch and one hell of a thing to pull off. It involves a double layout with a half twist; Simone Biles was the very first one to pull off this move and hence was named after. A decade and 2 years later, Brie Clark pulled off the move in favor of the tigers.

The Clemson Tigers women’s gymnastics team achieved a dominant victory over Texas Woman’s University. Sophia Andrews scored a 9.925 on the balance beam, and Maya Thompson scored a 9.900 on the uneven bars. Though Biles 1 failed to secure a perfect 10 for Clark, 9.800 was enough to win.

Why did Brie Clark join the Clemson Tigers?

The Alabama Native began her collegiate gymnastics career at the University of Utah, but as the coaches Smith and Erik Lewis went to Clemson University, she entered the transfer portal and subsequently joined Clemson’s inaugural gymnastics team. But why?

Clark claims that she looked at the campus and she just felt for it, citing “Yeah, when I come to Clemson, I just fell in love with the campus.” The fact that she was also going to the part of the very first Clemson’s gymnastics team also played it part; she continued, “The fact that making history and being the first team ever, not a lot of people can say that.”

Since she arrived at Clemson, Clark has been phenomenal. She recorded the first score above 9.900 in program history with a 9.925 on the floor against Pittsburgh on January 21, 2024. She also achieved the program’s first 10.0 from at least one judge, earning a career-high 9.950 on the floor against the Air Force on March 8, 2024.

The next challenge for her would be coming up on 8th March as the number 28 Clemsons go onto face number 27 Penn State. What do you think Clark had in store for them?
