Three years ago, gymnast Simone Biles won an incredible four Gold Medals at the Rio Olympics. Based on her performance over the weekend at the U.S. Nationals, it seems she might fare even better at next summer’s Games in Tokyo.
On the closing day of competition Sunday, Biles made history — becoming the first-ever to land a triple-double (a maneuver consisting of three flips and two twists) in the floor exercise.
Above, via NBC Sports, you can see the insane move in real time. And below, you can see it in slo-mo.

Incredible to watch @Simone_Biles do this in slow motion. I would call it magic but that wouldn’t give her credit for years of hard work and dedication. pic.twitter.com/WsFP7vAjzz
