US gymnast Simone Biles gets two new skills named after her at 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships

Gymnasts earn the right to have a skill named after them after they submit it for evaluation and land the move successfully at a major competition. "Overall, I still feel like I could do better. My goal going into tonight was to not be great, just to do well. I feel like I accomplished that and made it into finals. Yay!"The US, Chinese and Russian women's teams had already earned places at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics while nine other teams — France, Canada, Netherlands, Britain, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Japan and Spain — will join them.
The owner of 20 world medals, including 14 golds, the 22-year-old Biles could end the championships as the most decorated athlete in the competition's history by topping Belarusian Vitaly Scherbo's haul of 23 medals.
