American gymnastics star Simone Biles, who has already named five exercises, is planning to register a sixth one under her name, which will be presented at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The proposal has already been submitted to a technical committee responsible for the decision, according to the International Gymnastics Federation.
Biles, 27, is seeking to name a new exercise on the uneven bars, which is considered the apparatus on which the gymnast has had the least success, with just one of the 37 medals she has won at Olympics and world championships.

The North American, who has won four Olympic titles in Rio 2016, and three more medals in Tokyo 2020, one silver and two bronze, in an edition in which she withdrew from competitions for mental health reasons, could have six ‘nominations’.
Simone Biles and the mental health of athletes. Is it possible to survive the pressure of being “the best of all time”?
The gymnast has already written her name in two performances on the vault, two on the floor and one on the Olympic beam.
If you can perform the new exercise perfectly.Biles will then have six named executions, behind only Nellie Kim, a former gymnast from the former Soviet Union, who gave her name to seven movements and was Olympic champion in Montreal 1976 (three titles) and Moscow 1980 (two).
