Gymnastics moves that are named after Biles

No other gymnast over her career has been able to execute moves like those that Simone Biles has. This is a result of her exceptional athletic talent and small 4'8" stature.

The gymnastics code of points features various movements named after Biles as a result of her success with these moves.

Biles 6.4 vault - This one's name is derived from the vault's rating of 6.4, which is the highest difficulty in the gymnastics scoring system.

Biles - She also invented a dismount off the balancing beam called simply the Biles, which entails landing two flips on the beam before transitioning into a dismount that includes two twists.

It has an H difficulty rating. It illustrates how challenging it is to execute that kind of dismount, which gets harder as you get farther into the gymnastics alphabet.

Biles I - Biles has two movements on the floor that are named after her. The 2013 World Championships saw her successfully land Biles I.

A double layout and a half-turn are both parts of that move. It was won domestically by London Phillips in 2005, but since Biles won it in significant competition, she has received the name.

Biles II - This move was most recently executed by Simone Biles during the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships, and completes the list of her titular skills. To do a triple twisting double back, you must have the talent with a J grade.
