PARIS – Simone Biles wasn’t leaving anything to chance in the Olympics vault final, soaring high off the table and delivering her signature, eponymous double backflip in pike position.
It’s called the Biles II, the hardest vault in the world and named after her because she was the first to ever do it in competition. Most won’t even attempt it in practice due to the danger of missing it.
