We're in awe of Simone Biles. She's already broken a bundle of records, and she's made history again.

In her dismount from the balance beam, she soared in a double twisting, double somersault dismount.

UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: That makes everything just a little bit more palatable.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: It does make everything more palatable, doesn't it? If Biles can complete the double-double in international competition, they're going to name it after her. It would be the third move with her name on it. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
