Gravity-Defying Vault-ICONIC flip by Simone Biles
US gymnast Simone Biles endearingly referred to by the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee as "the most decorated gymnast in the history of the world championships" is known for its gravity-defying flips and spins. And this viral video that the four-time Olympic gold medalist posted shows her pulling it off again, this time landing (and then disappearing) in a tub of foam blocks!
Her post has been captioned "2020?" Twitterati went crazy about the jump, naming it the' Yurchenko Double Pike.' Fans drool over the move, with messages such as "What can't you do?" Is this the real thing? "And" I've been watching it several times and I'm still in shock, she's so Hot!
The 22-year-old also carved a niche for herself, having two abilities named after her during the rounds of qualification.

Biles became the first woman to win 4 individual all-around world championships in Doha in November 2018. She also claimed the title of her 12th World. Biles led the US team to victory, in addition to the all-around. At the US Gymnastics Championships, she captured a record-breaking fifth all-around title for the US. Biles bagged gold in all four sports during the event: floor exercise, balance beam, vault, and uneven bars. She'd made a record at the Olympics in Rio.

Biles performed the triple twisting double somersault in the first rotation on the court, which eventually went viral during August's US national championships. And then, on their final event, as the anchor for The US, the balance beam, Biles executed two back handsprings into a double-twisting double somersault.

nast had suffered from kidney stones sometime back and other minor injuries. She announced that she will retire after 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Fans are disappointed that the talented gymnast has revealed that she will retire after this year's Tokyo Olympics, saying "I feel like my body has gone through a lot and it's kind of falling apart," referring to a string of injuries she has sustained and her aggressive training program.
