The International Federation of Gymnastics revealed Friday that Simone Biles, the seven-time Olympic medalist, hopes to have a new gymnastics skill on the uneven bars named after her in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The new skill will be a variant of an element named after former Canadian gymnast Wilhelm Weiler, the Weiler-kip, in which a gymnast circles the bar forward with a half-turn before rising to a handstand. 

Biles has successfully executed this maneuver several times during her career. Biles has also done a Weiler-kip with a full single turn, a technique named after Australian gymnast Georgia Godwin this season.
