ANTWERP, Belgium (AP) — Simone Biles’s appetite for victory is insatiable.
The American superstar claimed a third gold medal at the 2023 gymnastics world championships on Sunday by winning the women’s beam with a superb routine on the final day of the competition.
Biles oozed confidence throughout. She had no hesitation on her jumps and delivered controlled spins before dismounting in style, with just a small hop when landing. She earned a score of 14.800 points to win ahead of China’s Zhou Yaqin by a margin of just 0.1 of a point. Rebeca Andrade of Brazil took the bronze medal.
In Antwerp, where she started her collection of 22 world titles 10 years ago, Biles has made a stunning return to the international stage.
