Simone Biles Makes History at US Championships
Biles Vaults to New Heights
Five-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles made history at the 2023 Xfinity US Championships in San Jose, California. The 19-time world champion became the first woman to ever land a Yurchenko double pike vault in competition.
The Biles II Vault
The vault, which involves a back handspring onto the vault, followed by a double front flip with a pike, is one of the most difficult vaults in women's gymnastics. Biles has been working on the vault for several years, and her successful execution at the US Championships marks a major milestone in the sport.
The vault has been named the "Biles II" in recognition of Biles' achievement. It is the second vault named after Biles, following the "Biles I" which she debuted in 2019.
A Lasting Impression
Biles' historic vault was met with thunderous applause from the crowd, and it is a testament to her incredible skill and determination. The vault is a major step forward for women's gymnastics, and it is likely to inspire many young gymnasts to push the boundaries of the sport.
