Biles earned her 27th world championship medal, ten years after winning her first individual all-around title.
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 received the loudest round of applause during the athlete presentation, with Andrade’s name also welcomed by loud cheers.
Even at her weakest apparatus, the uneven bars, Biles still managed a 14.333 that put her in the lead ahead of Andrade, who after a long wait produced a superb bar routine and reduced the gap to her American rival to just 0.233 points before they moved to the balance beam.
