Slow-Motion Video Of Simone Biles Nailing Insanely Difficult Move Has Fans Raving

We’re only three days into the Paris Olympics, and Simone Biles has already blown us away with her unparalleled talent. With seven Olympic medals already under her belt at 27 years old, this year is sure to be yet another historic one. This can be seen in her performance on Sunday. This is when the gymnastics qualifiers took place. As expected, she nailed both her vault and floor routines. But there’s one moment in particular that fans can’t stop talking about.

This moment took place during her vault routine. During it, Biles chose to try a move called the Yurchenko double pike. This move is considered by many to be the most difficult vault in women’s gymnastics. In fact, Biles became the first women to pull this move off in an international competition in 2023.

As you can see in the slow-motion video above, Biles pulled off this incredibly difficult move with ease! At this speed, it’s even easier to see just how incredible the 27-year-old is at what she does. Notice that she’s able to keep her body impressively still, allowing her to land with a mind-blowing level of precision.

Now, fans of this superstar athlete can’t stop raving about this iconic moment — and we understand why!

Because Biles is the only woman to have pulled off this move in international competitions, she has earned herself an incredible form of recognition. Although the move is still named the Yurchenko double pike, it has a new nickname: Biles II. How fitting, and incredible, is that!?

If you’re anything like these thrilled fans, you can’t wait to see Biles’ next performance in Paris. That said, the iconic Olympian gets a break today. But she’ll be back tomorrow for the women’s team final. In the meantime, it’s clear Biles is just as excited as her fans for what is to come!

“Grateful to be doing what I love,” Biles shared in a social media post hours ago.
