Simone Biles continued her spectacular return from a two-year break by claiming her 21st world title with all-around gold at the world championships.
ANTWERP, Belgium -- US superstar Simone Biles continued her spectacular return from a two-year break by claiming her 21st world title with all-around gold at the world gymnastics championships on Friday.
"But I was emotional, because 10 years ago I won my first worlds and now we're back here," said Biles of her return to Antwerp where she opened her world tally in 2013, winning four medals, including two golds. Biles has made a breathtaking comeback, two years after the Tokyo Olympics marked by her episode of "twisties", a temporary mental block whereby gymnasts lose their sense of where they are in the air.
" she proves to everyone that she can be better than before. She is like wine, she gets better with age."
