Simone Biles may be a BADGER, but she never stops learning!
On Wednesday, Sept. 11, the Olympic gymnast, 27, shared a video on her Instagram Stories about a new skill she learned ahead of the Gold Over America Tour.
“I learned another new thing,” she wrote over the clip, which caught her performing a move on the beam.
Wearing a black hoodie and shorts, Biles pulled herself into an upside-down position on the beam, before rotating her body twice along the apparatus. The athlete could not contain her excitement as she performed the move with the screams of those watching her.
Tagging fellow gymnast Skye Blakely in the video, Biles added in the caption, “@skyeblakely I don’t know how you do it every day.”
