translated from Spanish: Historic Simone Biles: he made a leap that was never seen in an official competition

Simone Biles doesn’t know impossible. What’s more, all the time he’s looking to make history. That’s what moves her. And two months after the Tokyo Olympics, he reappeared on stage and put his name back to the top of world gymnastics. After 19 months without competing, the 24-year-old American gymnast shone in the US Classic that took place at the Indiana Convention Center, making a jump that no woman had ever made in an official contest. It is the Yurchenko Double Pike, one of the most difficult movements in gymnastics that consists of the athlete reaching the horse with a back pirouette, and then making a double turn with her legs stretched out.
Biles, who at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro won four medals (3 gold and one bronze), as well as being the most medal-winning gymnast at World Cups (with 25), spoke after the competition. “It was really stressful, but I’m happy to be back here. I was just thinking of doing it like it was a workout. I said to myself, ‘Don’t try to exaggerate anything,’ because I have a tendency, as soon as I raise my hand, to master everything. I did it a little bit, but at least I stood up and it’s a new leap,” he said in statements to NBCSN. After practicing it for years, Simone Biles got the Yurchenko. And if you repeat it in Tokyo, the movement will be renamed after you.
