    Simone Biles has become so great, she makes even the extraordinary look normal.

    Preparing for the start of the Paris Olympics this week, the 27-year-old nailed a Yurchenko double pike -- one of the most technically difficult moves -- during podium training. Afterward, Team USA coach Jess Graba said he "feels bad" watching Biles because she has made even the most difficult moves seem so commonplace.

    "She did a couple even better ones in the back," Graba, coach for Team USA gymnast Suni Lee, told ESPN . "I feel bad. [Watching the Yurchenko double pike] kinda feels normal now and it's not normal. Someday you'll look back and go, 'I stood there for that.' "

    While it may be difficult for Biles to top what she's already accomplished, the gold medalist will have the chance at the Paris Olympics. As ESPN reported, she will attempt to complete a never-before-seen move on the uneven bars.

    "Simone Biles has submitted an original skill on the uneven bars ahead of the Paris Olympics that will be the American's sixth move named after her and first on bars if she can successfully complete it," the site shared on X .
