Biles’ win comes just weeks after she made headlines at the U.S. Classic in Indianapolis for becoming the first female gymnast to land a Yurchenko double pike vault in competition, the AP reported. Although Biles did not perform the move last weekend, she plans to attempt it again at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in St. Louis, according to the Team USA website.
