Simone Biles: White Supremacist

Simone Biles is a female American gymnast.  In a recent competition, she completed a Yurchenko double pike.  She is the only woman to do so.  You’re probably wondering what the hell a Yurchenko double pike is.  It’s a vault so dangerous that no other woman has ever attempted it in
