Watch: Gymnast Simone Biles cartwheels Astros' 1st pitch

It might not have been a strike, but it's definitely worth a 10 from the judges.

World champion gymnast Simone Biles was invited by the Houston Astros to throw out the first pitch for the Fourth of July matchup against the Seattle Mariners on Monday, and the Olympian didn't disappoint, performing a perfect no-hands cartwheel (known as an aerial) before throwing to Scott Feldman behind the plate.

Biles, who holds the record for most gold medals won by a female gymnast at the World Championships with 10, will be competing at the 2016 Summer Olympics. If she sticks the landing in Rio de Janeiro like she did at Minute Maid Park, there may be more gold medals in the pipeline.
