Gymnastics: Biles returns as queen and with legendary jump from the world championships
American Simone Biles delighted on the return, executing a historic double carpio Yurchenko in Antwerp.
Simone Biles returned and did so as a queen at the World Artistic Gymnastics championships in Antwerp.
The American champion, after withdrawing from the Tokyo Games due to a psychological block, lit up the qualifiers of the rainbow tournament in the city where she won her first world medals: and she did so with a legendary jump, performing Yurchenko’s double carp, an exercise that until now had only been performed by men, and which now bears the name of the 26-year-old gymnast, a four-time Olympic champion, to be the only woman capable of performing it.
