You Have to See This Epic Instagram from Serena

by Emma Cueto

In case you wanted one more reason to marvel at the glory that Serena Williams, I am more than happy to present you with one. Serena Williams just posted an Instagram showing off her gymnastics skills, and it is epic. But then again, isn't she always?

Williams is always pretty excellent, whether she's winning Wimbledon or rocking a fantastic outfit while doing so. Or even better, rocking her second "Serena Slam," which means she's the reigning champion for all four of the tennis Grand Slam tournaments. Plus, with the US Open coming up, Williams also has the chance to tie Steffi Graf for the record for most Grand Slams won in tennis's open era. (And it's worth noting that by "most" we mean just that — not "most for a woman," but "most period").

Williams has also gracefully handled numerous awful sexist and racist comments, which seem to pop up again and again and again and again. Because the world is awful. She also makes expert use of Instagram (including shutting down haters) and occasionally does stuff like making her own music video to Beyoncé's "7/11."

But whatever she's up to, she remains a legend and one of the greatest American athletes ever. But like I said, if you're looking for one more reason to love her, you can check out this Instagram in which she is doing a split while suspended in gymnastics rings.

The "Just Do It" tee shirt is what really puts the icing on the cake, but really, the whole thing is perfect. Has Serena Williams been declared a national treasure yet?
