Simone Biles lands the most difficult vault in the world, then blesses herself

Fans are loving how Simone Biles ended her individual all-around vault performance at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

After nailing the Biles II on vault as she competes for another gold medal, Biles showcased her usual big smile and then did the sign of the cross.

Watch:

Biles’ vault is the hardest in the world.

She admitted in the Netflix documentary “Simone Biles: Rising” that it’s a scary death-defying vault to throw no matter how many times she does it. “It’s just scary. And it’s every time you do it, you’re scared,” she said.

“The Yurchenko double pike,” now known as the Biles II, “I don’t know if anybody even thinks how difficult it is,” journalist Celine Nony said in the documentary.

“The height she gets is absolutely extraordinary,” journalist Olly Hogben added. “The pike position, from a physics point of view, is very, very difficult to rotate.”
