Olympic Gymnastics Live: The All-Around Final Is Wide Open

The American gymnast Jade Carey is so good on the floor exercise that she might debut the hardest tumbling pass ever to be attempted by a woman in competition: the triple-twisting double layout.

During the skill, Carey launches herself into a roundoff and back handspring before rising to complete three twists and two back flips. The feat is similar to Biles’s triple-double on the floor, but whereas Biles tucks her knees into her chest, Carey increases the difficulty by keeping her body straight.

So far, she has only attempted the skill in practice.
