When Biles started her competition ten years ago in Antwerp, she won two golds, one silver and one bronze. This time he leaves with four world championships and one silver.
At these World Championships, Biles won the team championship, the foursome for the sixth time, as well as the beam and beam. Instead, he was left second in jumping, although he made history in the qualifiers. At the time, Biles was the first woman to jump the Yurchenko jump with two vaults in an international competition.
The Yurchenko jump in question is the most difficult jump in women’s trapeze gymnastics. Its difficulty factor is no less than 6.4 and it is also quite rare for men. Biles has done the jump in the national competition before, but now she did it in the quadruple qualifier.
The jump is going to be named after the athlete after the World Championships as the Biles II jump. According to Biles, four performances had already been named before this.
In the finals, this jump was unsuccessful, and Biles crashed her landing. In addition to this, he finished fifth on his weakest stand, i.e. on different level joists.
During her career, Biles has won no less than 23 MM golds and a total of 30 MM medals. When you add to this four Olympic golds, one silver and two bronzes, he is the most awarded gymnast of all time. The great Soviet gymnast, who ended his career in 1966 Larisa Latynina once achieved 31 medals.
