In the video, Biles throws the axe and nails a bull's-eye. Excited and shocked, Biles turns around and celebrates with friends.
Biles made history in 2019, becoming the first female gymnast to land two new moves in competition: a double-double dismount (a double twist and double somersault) on the balance beam and a triple-double on floor. Both skills are now named after her.
When not axe-throwing, Biles continues to prepare for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics this summer. In a recent training video, Biles practices a new eye-popping stunt with the caption \"2020?\" -- prompting speculation she could attempt it at the Olympics.
