Simone Biles is no stranger to making history.

Over the weekend, she did it again, landing a Yurchenko double pike at the U.S. Classic. She is the first woman ever to land the move in competition.

The 24-year-old gymnast has been teasing the pike for a little over a year on social media, finally debuting the vault in competition on Saturday.

Biles rounded out her meet with only minor errors on the uneven bars and floor, topping the podium in Indianapolis with an all-around score of 58.4 points.

The U.S. Classic marked Biles’ first time back in competition since 2019.

Biles, a mainstay on the national team, will now have a few months to prepare for what is thought to be her final Olympic games, where she’ll look to add to her five medals from 2016.

The fate of the Tokyo Olympics is once again in doubt.

The Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association has now called for the cancelation of the games as COVID-19 cases continue to surge, stating that they “have their hands full and have almost no spare capacity.” The organization represents roughly 6,000 primary care doctors.

In a poll released Monday by the Asahi Shimbun, 83% of voters in a nationwide survey said the Olympics should be postponed or scrapped. 

The ratio of those who want the event to be held this summer has halved, with only 14% saying that the Olympics should be held, down from 28% in April. 

A petition urging the cancellation of the Olympics was submitted to organizers on May 14, with over 350,000 signatures.

In a 12-minute address on Wednesday, IOC President Thomas Bach offered to have added medical personnel available to help out when the games open. He also reassured the Japanese public and athletes coming to Tokyo that the Olympics would be “safe and secure” even in the midst of a pandemic. 

“For obvious reasons we cannot give them (athletes) every detail yet, but the most important principle is very clear: the Olympic Village is a safe place and the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be organized in a safe way,” Bach said, per the Associated Press. 

Bach noted that the anticipated vaccination rate of those staying in the Olympic Village is set to be above 80%. Currently, between 1-2% of Japanese are fully vaccinated. 

Tokyo reported 843 new coronavirus cases yesterday, up 77 from Wednesday and bringing the nationwide tally for the day to over 5,700.

It’s been a rough week for Nike. 

Just days after the company’s partnership with the estate of Kobe Bryant ended, gymnast GOAT Simone Biles announced she is leaving their roster for a new apparel partnership with Athleta.

While not directly criticizing Nike, Biles emphasized that Athleta’s values are what attracted her to the brand.

“I felt like it wasn’t just about my achievements, it’s what I stood for and how they were going to help me use my voice and also be a voice for females and kids,” she said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. “I feel like they also support me, not just as an athlete, but just as an individual outside of the gym and the change that I want to create, which is so refreshing.”

With Athleta, Biles will have her own performance wear line — much like Allyson Felix, who signed with the brand in 2019 after also being with Nike. 

When asked in the interview if she felt like she could have had her own line at Nike, Biles said: “Not necessarily, but I also feel like Athleta is committed to diversity and inclusion, of all women, backgrounds, ages, sizes, abilities and races.”

While Biles appreciates the opportunity to sign with such a big brand at a young age, she now feels as though she can make more constructive decisions about who she wants to surround herself with. 

“Now that I’m older and kind of in the world a little bit more, I see and I know and I learn and I grow from things,” Biles added.
