Simone Biles stuns Gymnastics world with Double Historic Week!

Simone Biles made history more than once this weekend during the US Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri.

On 9th, the 22-year old became the first gymnast ever to attempt and land a Double-Double Dismount off of a high beam. The move involves two twists and two somersaults while dismounting.

She again created history on 11th during her stunning floor routine. She became the first woman to land a triple double (two backflips and three twists while in the air) in competition on floor!

She had attempted the Tripple Double on Friday itself but had missed the landing.
