Despite a slight misstep in her signature Yurchenko double pike vault, Biles secured a silver medal at the world championships, adding to her impressive tally of 28 medals spanning over a decade. However, the top podium spot eluded Biles this time, as Rebeca Andrade of Brazil outshone the American superstar to clinch the vault competition’s gold. This event marked Andrade’s victory and denied Biles her 22nd world title. A day after achieving the status of the most decorated gymnast in history, Biles embarked on a mission to reclaim the title she last held in 2019. She attempted her incredibly challenging signature vault, a feat unique to the women’s competition and attempted by only a handful of men. Biles’ second vault, an impressive Cheng, earned her a combined score of 14.549. However, Andrade’s nearly flawless performance secured her the gold medal with a lead of 0.201 points. Yeo Seo-jeong of South Korea claimed the bronze with a score of 14.416. Olympic vault champion Andrade expressed her mixed emotions, stating her happiness for her own result but sadness at witnessing Biles’ fall. She acknowledged the tremendous dedication and training required for such a vault and deemed attempting the Yurchenko double pike in competition as “crazy.” Biles had made history by being the first woman to execute the Yurchenko double pike at the world championships during qualifications, resulting in the vault now bearing her name, the Biles II. This remarkable achievement adds to her collection of five skills named after her. Despite the fall in her first vault, Biles’ high start value for the Biles II ensured she remained competitive for a medal. She received 15.000 points for her initial vault. Andrade, who had been dethroned by Biles in the all-around final, sealed her victory with a superb double twisting Yurchenko. Biles also qualified for the uneven bars final but finished fifth due to the lower difficulty level of her routine compared to top athletes in the discipline. Her U.S. teammate, Shilese Jones, secured the bronze medal behind 16-year-old Qiu Qiyuan of China, the new world champion. This world championship marked Biles’ return to competition since 2019, following a two-year hiatus focused on her mental well-being after the Tokyo Olympics. She had previously led the U.S. women to a historic seventh consecutive team victory earlier in the week. In the men’s competition, Rhys McClenaghan successfully defended his pommel horse title, earning gold ahead of Khoi Young from the United States, who secured silver. It marked a significant achievement for the U.S. men’s team, which had already collected three medals since the competition began. Ahmad Abu Al-Soud of Jordan took the third spot on the podium. Olympic champion Artem Dolgopyat of Israel claimed the floor title with 14.866 points, followed by Kazuki Minami of Japan. Milad Karimi of Kazakhstan completed the podium. In the men’s rings final, Yang Liu’s display of strength earned him 15.233 points and the world title, surpassing former Olympic gold medalist Eleftherios Petrounias of Greece. Liu’s teammate You Hao secured third place. Simone Biles will return to action for the floor and balance beam finals on Sunday.
