Still phenomenal after a two-year hiatus, American sports superstar Simone Biles becomes the most decorated gymnast in history with 34 medals in the Olympics and world championships
ANTWERP, Belgium – American Simone Biles won her sixth all-around title at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships on Friday, October 6, to become the most decorated gymnast in the history of the sport.
Biles, who won her first all-around world title as a 16-year-old in Antwerp a decade ago, has claimed a total of 27 world medals – including 21 golds – having also led the US women’s team to a seventh consecutive title on Wednesday. “I was emotional because 10 years I won my first worlds, now we’re back here. So it was emotional,” Biles said.
The American, who returned to international competition after a two-year hiatus from the sport to protect her mental health, now has five skills bearing her name, two on floor exercise, two on vault, and one on balance beam.
