Simone Biles continues to show the world how dominant she still is in gymnastics as she captured her 22nd World Championship gold medal on Sunday in Antwerp, Belgium.
The 26-year-old shined on the balance beam as she barely missed a beat. Her final score of 14.800 beat out China’s Zhou Yaqin by just 0.1 points. This was Biles’s third gold medal at the 2023 World Championships, followed behind Team USA winning the women’s gymnastics titles and Biles winning the all-around title for the sixth time.
Biles hadn’t competed in the World Championships since 2019. She didn’t compete in gymnastics during the entirety of 2022, and had only competed briefly after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, when she battled with the “twisties.”
