STUTTGART, Germany: Simone Biles can break the all-time record for most world championships medals this weekend, but for the US gymnastics queen, it's about keeping calm and staying focused.

Having also won team gold in Stuttgart, Biles feels"more confident than I did in Rio", where she won four Olympic golds in 2016, and could potentially finish this weekend with six world golds from her six events. Her challengers are current world champion Nina Derwael of Belgium and Germany's Elisabeth Seitz, who finished ahead of Biles on Thursday."There are some great names and it will be very, very tough for her to get a medal."

She had to settle for bronze in the discipline at last year's world championships in Doha and her only blip at the 2016 Olympics was in the same event.
