Actors Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal first made the handstand t-shirt challenge go viral after Holland put a shirt on while doing a handstand, shared a video of it challenging others to try it, and Gyllenhaal obliged. It’s a pretty impressive feat, which was then one-upped by Olympian Lolo Jones, who not only performed the challenge but put on two t-shirts while upside down and in between sips of wine.
Naturally, as this challenge escalates while people are social distancing and staying inside when possible, superstar Simone Biles took it to a whole new level, as GOATs do.
Forget the t-shirt. Biles — one of countless athletes all over the world impacted by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics being postponed until next summer — did a prolonged handstand while taking off a pair of sweatpants and hilariously offered a little commentary as she struggled with that second leg.
With a move seemingly only she could perform, we’d expect nothing less. She’s great at everything. And amazingly, in the replies to Biles’ video, some people are actually attempting it.
Meanwhile, others — including Ryan Reynolds, who was first part of Holland’s challenge — want nothing to do with it.
