Simone Biles submits new original uneven bars element ahead of Paris Olympics

Simone Biles already has five gymnastics elements named after her. Now, she is going for another.

The American superstar submitted an original skill on uneven bars to the International Gymnastics Federation (IGF) on Friday. It makes her one of the four female gymnasts who may attempt new elements during the Paris Olympics.

The new skill in Biles' supposedly "weakest" event is a clear hip circle forward with 1.5 turns — or 540-degree pirouette — to a handstand. The IGF said it is a variation of an element named for Canadian gymnast Wilhelm Weiler, which Biles has performed many times before during her career.
