Simone Biles lands complex move named after her during Paris Olympics training session

American gymnast Simone Biles looked poised for victory at the 2024 Summer Olympics as she and the other members of the U.S. women's gymnastics team conducted a podium training at Paris' Bercy Arena on Friday. 

During practice, Biles stuck a complex vault, the Yurchenko double pike. The move is considered the most difficult vault in women's gymnastics, and it was renamed the Biles II in 2023, after she became the first woman to land it in international competition. It requires a round-off entry onto the springboard, a back handspring onto the vaulting table and two flips with straight legs.  

Coach Cécile Landi said Biles is "getting more and more comfortable with" the complicated maneuver.
