Likewise, Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos, who recently moved from Paris to Biles’s family gym in Texas with hopes of finally fulfilling her enormous potential, led France to their first ever world bronze medal by scoring 164.064 for bronze. As new nations stepped up, Great Britain were left behind during a tough night in Antwerp as they finished in sixth place.
“This team that we have throughout this year had the most grit, courage and fight, especially after everything that transpired out on the floor,” said Biles. Shortly afterwards, Jessica Gadirova fell on her own Cheng. More falls followed for Great Britain on the uneven bars and balance beam as the prospect of a third consecutive medal became increasingly remote.
