Yurchenko double pike
Simone Biles returned to the world stage this weekend at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships and became the first woman to land the extremely difficult Yurchenko double pike vault.
The routine requires a round-off entry onto the springboard, a back handspring onto the vaulting table, and two flips. The move was first performed by reigning world champion Natalia Yurchenko, competing under the Soviet Union.
Vault 2023
Simone Biles made history on Sunday by completing one of the most challenging vaults in sports in her return to international gymnastics competition.
Yurchenko, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, became the first woman to land a double pike vault at the international level at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Belgium. The video shows the 26-year-old running down the runway before doing a round-off on a springboard, then doing a back handspring onto a vaulting table and finishing with two double flips. As she rose to her feet, the crowd responded with thunderous applause.
