The U.S. women have won gold in the team event at every world championship that included a team competition since 2011.
ANTWERP, Belgium — After a two-year absence and less than three months into her return to competition, Simone Biles is back at the top of world gymnastics once again.
Biles now has 34 medals across the world championships and Olympics, making her the most decorated gymnast ever — male or female — at the sport’s two signature events ahead of the retired Vitaly Scherbo. Biles, Jones and Andrade competed in the same rotation, kicking off their contest at vault. Jones got off a solid start, nailing a double-twisting Yurchenko with a small hop that earned her 14.233 points.
