A couple of weeks ago, a trendy handstand challenge began to storm all over the internet. This challenge was successfully completed by Tom Holland and his Spider-Man: Far From Home co-star Jake Gyllenhaal. However, when the Olympic-winning gymnast took this challenge, we were completely bowled.

The challenge is simple (or not): The competitor is supposed to wear a shirt while keeping a handstand.

Well, Simone gave the handstand challenge her own twist. Instead of putting on a shirt while maintaining a wall-supported handstand, she maintained a handstand free from any support and gradually took off her sweatpants.

 Since we’re all social distancing and spending all our time at home, we don’t really need pants, right? So, we can all attempt to take on the new handstand challenge. Or at least, people with athletic ambitions can give it a shot.

After Biles posted this video on her Twitter account, people all over the world reacted to it with disbelief!

Chrissy Teigen replied: “Simone I have to lay down and have someone else do it normally.”

And the Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, who was previously challenged by Tom Holland, had a similar response to this video: “No”.




Thankfully, Simone didn’t challenge anyone to take up this challenge. Anyway, not many people can cope with this head-spinning challenge with the same amount of grace and balance as her.
