On October 13th, history was made when Simone Biles became the most decorated gymnast in the world. At the 2019 World Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Germany, Biles won her 22nd gold medal, breaking the record previously held by Belarusian gymnast Vitaly Scherbo.
Biles’ performance was nothing short of spectacular. She earned a score of 15.399 on the vault, 15.133 on the balance beam, and 15.933 on the floor exercise. Her total score of 46.365 was more than two points higher than her nearest competitor.
Biles’ success is even more remarkable when you consider that she has been competing at the highest level of gymnastics for only four years. She first competed at the World Championships in 2013, where she won two gold medals and one bronze. Since then, she has continued to dominate the sport, winning a total of 22 gold medals and four silver medals at the World Championships.
In addition to her record-breaking performance at the World Championships, Biles has also had an impressive career in the Olympics. She won four gold medals and one bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, and five gold medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
