Back in 2021, Biles and fellow gymnastJordan Chilesappeared onThe Kelly Clarkson Showvia video call while they were on the Gold Over America Tour.
During her guest appearance, Biles revealed that athletes on the tour warmed up to Clarkson’s song “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)."
The singer then showed the audience a fun clip of the Gold Over America Tour group dancing on stage along to the song while wearing pink workout gear and black zip-up sweaters.
“The first time I got a skill named after me was in this arena & 10 years later I got my 5th skill named….” she continued.
After she became the first woman to successfully perform the Yurchenko double pike during the championships earlier this month, the National Governing Board of Gymnastics announced that the skill would be named “Biles II,” meaning the gymnast hadreceived a fifth skill named after her.
