Simone Biles won the individual all-around title at the world championships for the sixth time Friday to become the most decorated gymnast in history, with 34 medals across the world championships and Olympics.
ANTWERP, Belgium -- After a two-year absence and less than three months into her return to competition, Simone Biles is back at the top of world gymnastics once again.
Biles now has 34 medals across the world championships and Olympics, making her the most decorated gymnast ever -- male or female -- at the sport's two signature events ahead of the retired Vitaly Scherbo. After announcing her return, she impressed at the U.S. Classic in early August, then added her eighth national title a few weeks later. She is competing at her first world championships since 2019 this week.Naomi Baker/Getty Images
In her blue leotard, Biles then opted for a Cheng vault -- not the more difficult Yurchenko double pike she pioneered during the team qualifying -- and was nearly perfect in her execution, getting 15.100 points. Andrade, the defending champion, also attempted a Cheng but her execution was not as good and she had to be content with 14.700.
