Simone Biles Becomes First Woman to Win Four All Around World Titles

Simone Biles won the all-around title at the world gymnastics championships on Thursday. Despite falling twice, on vault and balance beam, Biles finished with 57.491 points. Biles finished 1.693 points ahead of Japan’s Mai Murakami. It was Biles’ largest margin of victory at the world championships. Biles took more than a year off after winning four gold medals, including the all-around at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
