After a two-year hiatus, in her first global competition since the Tokyo Olympics, Simone Biles marked her return at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium by landing a trick so difficult that they named it after her - what is it?
Biles’ Vault Goes Down in History
Although Biles first showcased the YDP in 2021, she had never done it at an international event, which is required for a skill to be named after a gymnast. However, that changed during the Women’s Qualifications Day 1.
Simone Biles is 'immortal'
Now, Biles is the first female gymnast to execute a YDP internationally. Congratulating the gymnast, @femalequotient wrote, "Gold medals are fine. Having 5 gymnastics moves with your name on it is immortal", on their official IG handle.
