Laurent - “try a split jump out of your double lay,” the gymnast shared.

In the video, Simone Biles was running from a distance toward the gymnastics mat. As she came closer to it, she performed three backflips. However, when she completed her third backflip and began her fourth, the gymnast became imbalanced and fell onto the mat.

“Well,” Biles wrote below the video, adding a laughing emoji.
