Her signature move is a double layout with a half-twist and a blind landing. When she first performed it in 2013, no one else had ever tried it in competition. It’s now officially known as “The Biles.” Expand - View Original
She is literally unreal - people have already called her the greatest gymnast of all time. The beam one was the most impressive to me; how the hell they all balance on a 4in wide surface i'll never know, let alone do backflips on it!!!
I too am perplexed at the beam. they all have to be ninja's it's the only explanation that makes sense.
