Five-time Olympics medalist and 14-time World Champion Simone Biles became the first gymnast to ever attempt and land a double-twisting, double somersault dismounts off the balance team on Friday at the 2019 US Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri. Earlier she also became the first woman to attempt a triple-double - two flips and three twists in the air during a floor exercise but couldn't make the landing.
