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.
The American star won the individual all-around title at the world championships for the sixth time on Friday to become the most decorated gymnast in history.
Ten years after she won her first in the same Belgian city as a 16-year-old, Biles scored 58.399 points across the balance beam, floor, vault and uneven bars to beat Rebeca Andrade, the Brazilian defending champion, by 1.633 points.
Biles's US teammate Shilese Jones took the bronze medal, with 56.332 points. It was Biles’s 27th world championship medal – and 21st gold.
