The Olympic Games are postponed for another year, but that's not stopping Simone Biles from showing off her talents. The gymnast caught the internet's attention last week when she took part in the #HandstandChallenge, which has been trending online with many celebrities taking part.
While other celebrities put their shirts on while doing a handstand, the gymnast took the challenge to a new level. Using only her feet, the Olympic gold medalist took off her pants while doing a handstand. And unlike the other participants, Biles didn't need to lean against the wall to complete the task.
Fans have seen many improbable moments from the American gymnast, but this latest feat appeared to make yet another strong impression.
"Girl can't nobody do that," one Twitter user said.

The 23-year-old also got the attention of some well-known names, who apparently struggle to put on their pants on a normal day.
"Simone I have to lay down and have someone else do it normally," Chrissy Teigen tweeted.

Ryan Reynolds made it clear that he will not even think about doing something so crazy.
No.

Still, the Olympian who has inspired many girls through the years has now motivated more of her fans to try the latest challenge. Some were able to accomplish the task.
My daughter loves you and took your challenge. @Simone_Biles

In November, Biles was named 2019’s Team USA Female Olympic Athlete of the Year…obviously.
