Simone Biles is ready to go.
Back in May, the American gymnastics superstar made waves when she became the first woman to land a Yurchenko Double Pike. Now, she's pulling it out in practice.
Biles showed a glimpse of what fans can expect when turning into the vault event of the artistic gymnastics schedule at the Tokyo Games in a training run this week, pulling off the complex move and making it look easy.
The Yurchenko Double Pike consists of a roundoff onto the springboard, followed by a back handspring onto the vault. The gymnast then does a double pike - which is two full rotations during which the athlete has their legs stretched straight out rather than tucked in.
