While competing in the women’s all-around qualification in Belgium, she accomplished what no other woman has done on-stage before.
She landed the Yurchenko double pike vault.
While competing, Biles voluntarily took a half-point deduction so her coach Laurent Landi could stand on the mat as a precaution, CBS News reported.
The incredibly difficult vault will now be called the Biles II, making it the fifth gymnastic feat named after her.
