Simone Biles is the GOAT. There, I said it.
On Friday, the 22-year-old gymnast made history as the first person to ever attempt, and land, a double-double dismount from the beam. The history-making moment took place at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Mo., where Biles is chasing her sixth national title.

I would've broke my neck just climbing on to the beam. Amazing

Simone is amazing! And what’s so cool is that I don’t think we’ve seen all that she’s capable of yet- she just keeps getting better and better!

That wasn't Biles' only history-making moment on Friday, however. Before her beam routine, she also became the first woman to perform a triple-double in the floor exercise.
Biles is the most decorated female gymnast of all time, having won 25 combined Olympic and World Championship medals, among countless others.
