Simone Biles became the first female gymnast to win six all-around world titles Friday.
The 26-year-old American tallied 58,399 points in the individual all-around final, in which gymnasts must compete on all four apparatuses — vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise, at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Biles won her 27th world medal and became the most decorated gymnast in history.
Reigning champion, Brazilian Rebeca Andrade, won silver with 56,766 points, while another US-based athlete, Shilese Jones, received the bronze medal with 56,332 points.
Biles also led the US women’s team to their seventh consecutive gold on Wednesday.
