Seven-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles is aiming to have a new gymnastics skill on the uneven bars named after her at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the International Federation of Gymnastics announced Friday.
The new skill is a variation on an element named after former Canadian gymnast Wilhelm Weiler, the Weiler-kip, which is when a gymnast circles the bar forward with a half-turn before rising up to a handstand. It's a move Biles has successfully performed many times in her career. Biles has also performed a Weiler-kip with a full single turn, a move that was named after Australia's Georgia Godwin this past season.
