Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history.

Standing at 4 feet, 8 inches, the 27-year-old owns 38 career Olympic and world championship medals and is the youngest-ever recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

After achieving her eighth career Olympic medal at the 2024 Paris Games, Biles has earned the most by an American gymnast, male or female.

Another notch on Biles' highly decorative belt is the seemingly ever-growing list of gymnastics moves named after her. Here's a list of Biles' signature moves that showcase her extraordinary athleticism and innovative creativity.

The Biles on Floor

This is a double layout with a half twist. It includes a double backflip in a stretched position with a half twist before landing. It was named after Biles after she first executed the move competitively at the 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

Biles II on Floor

This is the triple-double, or two backflips with three twists in a tucked position. Biles first executed the move in competition at the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships and successfully landed it again at the 2019 world championships.

Biles on Beam

This is a double-twisting double backflip. Biles first revealed the dismount at the 2019 U.S. gymnastics championships. It earned Biles' name after she landed it again at the 2019 world championships.

Biles on Vault

This is a roundoff on the springboard connected to a half turn onto a vault with two full twists. Biles debuted the move while competing at the 2018 world championships.

Biles II on Vault

This is a Yurchenko double pike, or a roundoff onto the springboard followed by a back handspring onto the vault and two backflips with straight legs. Biles became the first woman to perform the move competitively at the 2021 GK U.S. Classic. The move officially garnered her name after she executed it at the 2023 world championships.

The Biles on Bars ... maybe

Biles submitted a new skill on bars for the Paris Olympics. The skill is a hip circle forward with a one and a half pirouette to handstand, a variation of a move named after Wilhelm Weiler. She never competed it at the Games, but if she does in the future, she will then have a skill named after her on every event.
