American gymnast Simone Biles has dominated the Rio Olympics with five medals (four of them gold) but just as impressive as her medal haul is how she's gone about winning them: with gravity-defying flips, including one named after her.。

While Biles has impressed with the air she gets on the vault and the balance beam, it's her execution of a move known as "The Biles" that's been causing to jaws to drop. While she's been pulling off the move for a while now, it got its biggest audience during the Rio competition.。

The Biles is "a double layout with a half-twist and a blind landing," according to the 。 The Biles is "a double layout with a half-twist and a blind landing," according to the 。New York Times 。 . Sounds incredible enough already, but, as another excellent。Times 。

piece pointed out, it's execution is unlike anything else you saw in Rio.。

Biles is only 4 feet, 8 inches tall, but is powerful enough to build momentum to squeeze more moves into her tumbling pass, including those incredible jumps. 。Mashable Top StoriesStay connected with the hottest stories of the day and the latest entertainment news.Sign up for Mashable's Top Stories newsletter。By signing up you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.。

I mean, she has to get so much height there in order to be able to spin twice with her full body length extended. It looks, from the video, almost like she has to get her whole body height up, which is incredible.。 Quartz

Twice her own height is just shy of 10 feet, at 9 feet, 4 inches. 。

So that got us thinking: we should put Biles' incredible jump into perspective. Here's a look at how the height she gets executing "The Biles" compares to a few random tall things.。Credit: Bob Al-Greene/Mashable
