Simone Biles continues to push the envelope for challenging skills and her vault performance in the women’s gymnastics all-around final at the Paris Olympics was no different as she successfully drilled a Yurchenko double pike, which has become known as the ‘Biles II’.
The judges rewarded Biles for her effort with a difficulty score of 6.400, an execution score of 9.366 and a total score of 15.766.
“She nailed the vault,” said NBC’s Rich Lerner, who called it the hardest vault skill out there.
