Skill Named After Simone Biles on Beam: The Biles

Simone debuted this new dismount during the first night of the 2019 US Gymnastics Championships. It's two back handsprings on the beam to a double-twisting double back tuck off of the beam. "I'm really happy with the beam dismount and how it's come along, because if you had asked me after [US Classic] if I was going to compete it, I would've said no," Biles told Team USA. It will officially be dubbed The Biles now that she did it during the qualification round of 2019 Worlds, as seen at the end of her routine here. The FIG Women's Technical Committee declared that it's worth an H, or eight tenths of a point, despite the fact that the National Women's Technical Committee (and Simone) thought it should be worth more.
