The vault, called a Yurchenko double pike, requires a back handspring off the vault and two complete flips with the knees kept straight. It's named after Natalia Yurchenko, a Russian gymnast who performed a version of the move with a single flip, but Biles is the first female gymnast to perform it with two.

Fittingly, Biles performed the impressive move in a new leotard decorated with a tiny rhinestone goat, because she is in fact the GOAT.
