According to ESPN and USA Today, the 24-year-old, four-time Olympic gold medalist practiced her Yurchenko double pike vault during podium training Thursday ahead of the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
In May, Biles became the first woman to land the move – historically performed only by men – in competition at the U.S. Classic in Indianapolis. If she lands it while competing in Tokyo, it will bear her name in the gymnastics code of points, the Team USA website reported.
The first woman in history to land a Yurchenko double pike in competition.
