Simone Biles Did A No-Hands Cartwheel Before Throwing Out The First Pitch, Naturally

Going for the gold on the mound.

Olympic gymnastics hopeful Simone Biles , who won her fourth straight national championship recently, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Houston Astros game on the 4th of July.

You didn't expect her to just toss the ball, did you?

Watch Biles do what she does, flipping before her release:

Biles heads into the U.S. Olympic trials in San Jose, California, as a favorite to earn an automatic Rio team spot that goes to the athlete with the highest combined all-around score.

Too bad ceremonial first pitches aren't on the program.
