In pursuit of a record-tying sixth all-around world title Friday night at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, Biles opened her outing with a near-perfect vault. On Wednesday, the American squad of Biles, Jones, Leanne Wong, Skye Blakely and Joscelyn Roberson won the team final, marking Team USA’s seventh straight gold in the event. Friday’s win moved Biles into sole possession of the record, 34, for medals at the Olympics and world championships combined. “I’m just here along for the ride, to contribute to the U.S. and just have fun.” Biles, who returned to the competition floor in August after a two-year hiatus from the sport, is the oldest U.S. woman ever to win a world championships medal.
