Simone Biles put Tom Holland to shame with her handstand challenge, which she shared on Instagram on Sunday.
America’s most decorated gymnast posted a video of her taking on the trending challenge (made popular by Holland earlier this month) but with a new twist. Instead of doing a handstand against a wall while putting on a t-shirt, Biles performed a handstand with no support while taking off a pair of sweatpants.
Biles was in a handstand for just under a minute, and her sweatpants even had cuffs around the ankles.

"Simone I have to lay down and have someone else do it normally," Chrissy Teigen responded to the video.

Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds, who flatly rejected Holland's nomination to attempt the handstand challenge, simply replied: "No."
No.

Holland brought the trend to wider attention at the start of April when he challenged his "Spider-Man: Far From Home" costar Jake Gyllenhaal and his fellow Marvel star Reynolds.
While Reynolds comedically turned him down, Gyllenhaal obliged and made it look easy.
