Defying gravity! Gymnast Simone Biles performs 'INSANE' vault that no female athlete has EVER landed - as she gets set to compete for the first time in 18 months ahead of Tokyo 2021
Gymnast Simone Biles has well and truly cemented her GOAT status after pulling off a near-perfect execution of a vault so difficult and risky to perform that no female athlete has ever attempted to land it in competition.
The 24-year-old four-time Olympic gold medalist was caught on camera practicing her Yurchenko double pike during podium training for this weekend's U.S. Classic meet, which will mark Simone's first competition in more than 18 months.
In video footage taken on Friday, Simone somehow manages to make the vault look almost effortless, giving little indication of just how complex and dangerous a maneuver it is to complete.

I've often wondered what gives some women drive to achieve and others just settle?
