She lands the DOUBLE-DOUBLE and this element will be called the "Biles" from now on.
The moves wonโt officially be named after her until the Federation of International Gymnastics gives its approval.
Biles will now have two moves named after her for floor exercise and one each on the vault and balance beam.
In order to have a move named after a gymnast, they must successfully perform the element at the world championships or at the Olympics.
The TRIPLE DOUBLE or now known as 'The Biles II'.

In August, Biles was the first female to land the two moves in competition, which helped earn her sixth all-around title at the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri.
In an interview with the Olympic Channel after her performance, Biles said, "My goal into tonight was to not be great. It wasnโt to do great, it was to do well and I feel like I accomplished that."
.@Simone_Biles' reaction to qualifying in first position and making every final at #Stuttgart2019 is priceless.๐
