WATCH: Simone Biles performs new uneven bars skill set to get named after her at the Paris Olympics 2024

With the 2024 Paris Olympics set to begin tomorrow, legendary gymnast Simone Biles wowed the fans with a stunning new skill on the uneven bars. She has submitted a Weiler-kip for evaluation on uneven bars during the Games.

Also known as 'Clear-hip forward,' the skill is named after the former Canadian gymnast Wilhelm Weiler. The execution of the skill begins with a handstand position on the upper bar. The gymnast then dips his/her body under the bar to swing it around and then rises again into a handstand position.

While the version with a 1/2 twist is frequently executed, Biles will attempt a 1 and 1/2 twist (pirouettes) before coming to a halt into a handstand position. With Biles commencing her campaign at the Games on Sunday, July 28, 2024, she could perform the new element at any stage to have it named after her.

Watch Biles perform the Weiler-kip here:

If the 27-year-old American gymnast successfully executes a perfect Weiler-kip at the Games, it will be the sixth skill named after her, being first on the uneven bars. She will become the only active female gymnast to have at least one skill named after her on all four apparatuses.

She performed a Yurchenko half-on with two twists, named 'Biles on Vault' at the 2018 World Gymnastics Championships. The American got the 'Biles on Floor' named after her at the 2013 World Gymnastics Championships, where she executed a double layout with a half-twist. She flipped twice in the air before making a blind landing.

At the 2019 World Championships, the four-time Olympic gold medalist performed the 'Biles II on Floor.' In this element, she wholly flips twice and twists three times in the air before making a landing on the floor. At the same Championships, she displayed a double-twisting backflip on the Balance beam and got it named after her.
