Simone Biles gets a 5th skill named after her (3 Viewers)

Ahsoka · 3 October 2023

For those who don’t know, to have a skill named after you in gymnastics you have to be the first person to submit it for review at an international competition and then must land it successfully at that competition. She has 2 named after her on floor, one on beam, and now two on vault. I’ll post a link to the tweet that has her new vault, and I’ll post a link to each of her other skills. It’s very impressive, the difficulty value is quite a bit higher than the hardest vault performed at last years world. Very dangerous too but she did it well

Floor skills at 0:09 and 2:00, vault at 0:30, and beam at 1:02. Those are the ones that counted for having it named after her, the ones with one before were done below the international level so they didn’t count for naming.
