- American Simone Biles became the most decorated gymnast in world championship history on Sunday when she won the beam and floor finals to take her career tally to 25 medals.
The four-time Olympic champion is now the owner of 19 gold medals across four championships against 12 for Scherbo, who competed in five world events between 1991 and 1996. The Americans took a one-two finish as Sunisa Lee finished with 14.133 for the silver medal, while Russian Angelina Melnikova came third.Earlier, Biles delivered a polished routine on the beam before a full twisting double tuck dismount for an impressive 15.066.
But she has regained her swagger this week, under the watchful eyes of balance beam coach Cecile Landi, and posted top scores in all four attempts — qualifying, the team and all-around finals and Sunday’s apparatus final. As another title-winning score was announced in the arena, Biles punched the air in jubilation before joining celebrations with the U.S. team.
The face of gymnastics is Simone Biles.
Very good achievement
