Editor's note: Nadia Comaneci at the 1976 Olympics, Shannon Miller at the 1996 Olympics, and Simone Biles at the 2019 World Championships: all were highest-tier balance beam routines, with Simone’s double twisting double back dismount becoming known as a “Biles” because she was the first to do it. What these athletes do while balancing on a 4-inch wide raised beam, most of us couldn’t do while on the ground. Celebrate them with some stunning Balance Beam wallpapers!
