Simone Biles, an Olympic Gold Medalist, is renowned for her remarkable gymnastics skills. She has two skills named after her, namely the Biles and the Biles II. The Biles entails a double backflip with two twists. It?s an incredibly challenging maneuver that only a select few gymnasts worldwide can execute. On the other hand, the Biles II surpasses the difficulty level of the Biles.

She initially executed the Biles II at the 2019 U.S. National Championships, and she has since successfully landed it on a few other occasions. Biles’ beam flips represent some of the most demanding and awe-inspiring skills in gymnastics. MLB player CJ Abrams recently captivated audiences as he emulated Biles’ coveted move.
