Biles (Floor - Triple Double)

The Biles on floor consists of a double backflip combined with three full twists. It is widely recognized as one of the most difficult tumbling passes ever performed in women's gymnastics. Simone Biles debuted this triple-double at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart.

In the women's FIG Code of Points, the Biles is officially rated as a J element, which gives it the highest difficulty value of any single skill on floor exercise. Completing this skill alone provides a massive 1.0 point addition to a gymnast's Difficulty Score. It was the first J element in women's gymnastics history.

Yes, the skill is named after her because she was the first woman to successfully perform it at a World Championship or Olympic competition. According to FIG rules, a skill is permanently entered into the Code of Points under the gymnast's name upon its successful execution. She originally submitted the skill to the technical committee in 2019.

While the skill is becoming more common in men's floor exercise, very few women have successfully competed it in a major FIG-sanctioned event. The sheer explosive power required to generate three twists within two flips is extremely rare in female gymnastics. It remains an incredibly exclusive club spearheaded by Biles herself.
