Simone Biles truly is the GOAT — and she knows it.
The US gymnastics superstar Simone Biles returned to competition with a bang on the weekend, completing a historic vault to launch her final run to the Tokyo Olympics.
The five-time Olympic gold medallist, who hadn't competed since winning five golds, including a fifth all-around title, at the 2019 World Championships, delivered on the vault she's been preparing — a Yurchenko double pike — at the US Classic in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The vault, featuring a round-off onto the springboard and back handspring into a piked double backflip, had never before been done in women's competition — until now. Biles sailed through it with so much power that she over-rotated slightly and stepped back on the landing.
Biles is the undisputed gymnastics queen of the world and she has no trouble embracing that tag. Eagle-eyed viewers on social media noticed the head of a goat on the back of the 24-year-old's leotard — symbolising that she is the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT).
