Simone Biles is making her return to Olympic competition on Sunday even more hotly anticipated with the possibility she may perform another new move.
The American, the most decorated gymnast in history with 37 world and Olympic medals, will get the first chance to try to get an uneven bars skill named after her in the women's qualifying event at Paris 2024.
Biles is back on the Olympic stage three years after pulling out of several events at the last Games in Tokyo with the 'twisties' - a disorientating mental block. Bars would be the most likely one she would opt out of - with it being her 'weakest', if you can call an apparatus on which she has a world silver medal. Perhaps you can if 'just' one out of 30 world medals has come on bars.
