5 Gymnastics Moves Named After Simone Biles

If you ever wondered why Simone Biles is widely considered the most talented gymnast of all time — truly the GOAT — let us explain. She’s the most decorated gymnast in history, with 37 Olympics and World Championship medals to her name. President Joe Biden awarded her a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2022 — making her the youngest person to ever receive one — for her contributions to society, both as a history-making gymnast and as an advocate for mental health, sexual assault victims, and children in foster care. And she’s landed gymnastic moves that no other woman gymnast has done before — not just one or two, but five, all of which now bear her name.

Here, we’ve compiled all the moves named after Biles (so far). Each is given a difficulty value in the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Code of Points — numerical values for vaults and letters for skills on every other event — or a provisional value, when a skill has yet to be landed in international competition. If the scores don’t wow you, the skills themselves surely will.
