After Simone Biles Went Viral For Hosting A Funeral For Her Signature Vault Move, Fans Have Some A+ Comments About It

As a die-hard gymnastics fan with a heart full of admiration for Simone Biles, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness as I see her saying goodbye to her signature vault move, the Yurchenko Double Pike. It’s like losing an old friend who was always there for you in a pinch – or rather, a flip. However, I understand and support Simone’s decision to prioritize her health and safety over the thrill of performing this death-defying move.


At the conclusion of gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, spectators were eager to know if Simone Biles would continue with the sport and participate in the 2028 Games in LA. The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) expressed her displeasure about the query and declined to entertain it, instead preferring to enjoy the team’s and her own historic victories. About a month later, it appears Biles is still considering her options. Nevertheless, she seems prepared to relinquish her famous vault maneuver, and fans have some excellent reactions regarding this move.

Apart from being hailed as the greatest gymnast ever, this 27-year-old individual is known for her witty humor that won a gold medal during the games. She amused everyone by flaunting her “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT) necklace and publicly calling out her critics. Recently, she’s been making news once more following a funeral event, including a memorable photoshoot, for her signature move, the Yurchenko Double Pike. Take a look at these pictures:

Dwayne Johnson thoughtfully presented a gift to Simone Biles when he discovered they share a significant commonality.

In the realm of high-level gymnastics, Yurchenko vaults are a standard. However, it’s only Simone Biles who executes the Yurchenko Double Pike, a move involving two mid-air flips, for which she is famously known. This breathtaking maneuver may leave spectators in awe, but competitors find it downright nerve-wracking. Biles, often referred to as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time), has openly expressed her anxiety during its execution, admitting that all she can think about is “avoiding death.” Despite this fear, she successfully performed the move in both the All-Around and Vault Final events at the Olympics in Paris, earning gold medals as a result.

Although the move contributed to her winning gold medals, the renowned gymnast earlier voiced her intention to abandon it as soon as feasible. Given that she’s held a farewell for this particular move, it’s reasonable to assume she won’t be doing it again. However, it’s important to note that this doesn’t signify her retirement from gymnastics altogether. In fact, she’s retired signature moves in the past, only to return with even more spectacular ones later on.

Although it’s unfortunate not to watch Simone Biles create more history with that trick, I am content she is prioritizing her health and safety. However, there’s still an opportunity to witness this groundbreaking skill when the second installment of her documentary Simone Biles Rising premieres on Netflix on October 25th as part of their 2024 TV schedule.
