US gymnastics superstar Simone Biles returned to competition with a bang Saturday, completing an historic vault to launch her final run to the Tokyo Olympics. The five-time Olympic gold medallist, who hadn`t competed since winning five golds, including a fifth all-around title, at the 2019 World Championships, delivered on the vault she`s been preparing -- a Yurchenko double pike -- at the US Classic in Indianapolis, Indiana. The vault, featuring a roundoff onto the springboard and back handspring into a piked double backflip, had never before been done in women`s competition. Biles sailed through it with so much power that she over-rotated slightly and stepped back on the landing. 

"I was just thinking, do it like training," she said of her mindset as she took off down the runway. "Don`t try to overdo anything, because I have a tendency as soon as I raise my hand to kind of overpower things. I did a little bit, but at least I still was on my feet and it`s a new vault." Posts of Biles completing the vault in practice had set social media sites buzzing. NBA superstar LeBron James had retweeted a video of Biles landing it.
