US athlete Simone Biles returns to gymnastics with a gold medal
After an absence of nearly two years, US athlete Simone Biles participated in the 52nd Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Belgium and won a gold medal in her first event.
The women's individual all-around finals were held on the seventh day of the event, which took place at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp.
US athlete Simone Biles scored a total of 58.399 points across the uneven bars, vault, balance beam, and floor exercise, winning the gold medal in the competition. This marked Biles' first gold medal in her first event after a two-year hiatus.
In the competition, the reigning world champion, Rebeca Andrade of Brazil, finished second with 56.766 points, while another US athlete, Shilese Jones, placed third with 56.332 points.
Biles had testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee
Simone Biles, who withdrew from several events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to mental health struggles, had testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee after the Olympics alongside her teammates, alleging that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and national federation officials had ignored the abuse of hundreds of women by Larry Nassar, the former doctor of the US Olympic Gymnastics Team.
The US athlete, who had been away from gymnastics for a long time, had decided to participate in the 52nd Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp.
