Simone Biles' new vault has never been attempted by a woman in international competition — and it looks she'll use it at the Tokyo Olympics

Heading into the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, the 22-year-old appears ready not only to once again dominate the competition but to do so in unprecedented fashion.

Simone Biles has long been in a league of her own, but it looks like she'll be pulling out all the stops for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

The 22-year-old, who won four gold medals and a bronze at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, posted a video of herself that indicates that she's ready not only to once again dominate the competition but to do so in unprecedented fashion.

The clip which Biles posted on her Twitter with the caption "2020 ?" shows Biles completing a Yurchenko double pike vault before tumbling into a foam pit.

When the clip is slowed down, it's easier to grasp the magnitude of the feat.

The impressive move named in part for Russian gymnast Natalia Yurchenko involves a roundoff into the springboard, a back handspring onto the vault, and a piked double backflip on the dismount. According to Blythe Lawrence of Rocker Gymnastics , a Yurchenko double-flipping vault has never even been attempted before by a woman in international competition.

And from the looks of it, Biles could take the move to solid ground whenever she wants her feet were the first part of her body to contact the foam pit after two full rotations in the air.

Fans will get a better taste of what Biles is bringing to the mats this time around when she competes at the US Olympic Team Trials in St. Louis June 25-28. Until then, we'll have to settle for more jaw-dropping videos posted to social media.
