A
Simone Biles
B
Gabby Douglas
C
Katelyn Ohashi
D
Aliya Mustafina
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -No one else has landed a triple-twisting double somersault in competition. This came after Biles became the first person to land a double-double as part of a dismount on the balance beam.

Detailed explanation-2: -(American gymnast Jade Carey is now training a laid-out triple-double but has yet to compete it.) It’s a move that requires incredible, almost superhuman strength, coordination, and training. She’s flipping her body around two axes at the same time: twice front to back, and three times sideways.

Detailed explanation-3: -“It’s inspiring to young athletes that there are more records that can still be broken.” “I take things one step at a time.” “Today, do what others won’t so tomorrow you can accomplish what others can’t.”

Detailed explanation-4: -Biles II (double backflip, triple twist) To complete this skill, Biles flips backwards twice in the air while simultaneously twisting three times.

Detailed explanation-5: -At the age of two, she and her siblings were taken from their drug-addicted mother and placed in foster care. Adopted by her grandfather and his wife, she was introduced to gymnastics during a day-care field trip at age six.
