Simone Biles is unstoppable!
The celebrated, five-time Olympic medalist made history on Saturday as she participated in the U.S. Classic, which also marked the first time the 24-year-old gymnast has competed in over a year.
According to People, Biles perfected the Yurchenko Double Pike, a challenging vault her fans know she had been working on since last year.Â
During a training session, Biles was spotted practicing the difficult move, which has never been done by a female gymnast in competition.
On Saturday, Biles nailed it in a triumphant moment that garnered her a score of 16.1 and a place in history as the first woman to complete the Yurchenko double pike in a competition.
