Simone Biles Cements GOAT Status Again, Lands Ridiculous Yurchenko Double Pike
Biles said she had to prepare for the difficult routine by giving herself a little pep talk.
“I was really nervous chalking up,” Biles said in a post-training press conference. “I was like, ‘It’s OK, I’ve done this so many times.’ I’ve been doing it for months now. So I felt prepared and I knew I was prepared, it was just the initial landing out there in the arena.”
The 24-year-old has teased the skill a few times since Feb. 2020 and is expected to use it again at the Tokyo Olympics in June this summer. This could be her fifth self-named skill, Yahoo Sports reported.
Biles said the vault was something she played around with and never took too seriously.
“We were just flipping to flip to see what I could do … but never in a million years did I think that it would be feasible and to actually put it out on a competition floor,” Biles said.
According to California News-Times, the name of the dangerous vault comes from Natalia Yurchenko, a now-retired Soviet gymnast who won the women’s all-around gold medal at the 1983 World Championships. The routine requires tricky movements beginning with a round-off backhand spring approach to the vault. Next, the gymnast must move into a double flip before landing a straight leg position.
