Simone Biles has once again cemented her legacy as the greatest gymnastics athlete of all time. On October 6th at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, Biles won her sixth all-around title, setting a record for the most decorated gymnastics athlete to ever compete. This win marks a decade since her first world championship medal, and she is now looking forward to the Paris Olympics with even more determination and drive.
When interviewed about her historic win, Biles commented on the emotional journey that it was for her. “It means everything to me, the fight, everything that I’ve put in to get back to this place, feel comfortable and confident enough to compete," she said.
Biles showed her dominance by beating her closest opposition by nearly two points. Her 27 medals from world championships includes 21 gold and she continued to show her skill and precision, even with a slight stumble on her floor routine. She admitted to being more nervous for the team event, as it was during that time when she experienced the “twisties” which caused her to pull out of the Tokyo Olympics.
With her latest win, Simone Biles has now tied for the most all-around world titles and has a total of 34 medals from all her competitions. She credits her therapist for helping her overcome the obstacles that have come with her return to the sport, and says she doesn't think the full impact of her achievements will hit her until she retires and looks back.
Simone Biles continues to make history and push the limits in gymnastics. Her passion and dedication to the sport are evident in her performances, and it's clear that she is just getting started.
