Day 7 of the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships focused on the women’s individual all-around event. Among the 24 female gymnasts who appeared on the world stage to showcase their gymnastics talent, it was 26-year-old Simone Biles who emerged at the top. The legendary gymnast made history by winning her 6th world championship gold medal in the all-around event.
On October 6, Simone Biles won her first individual gold medal at the 2023 World Championship, scoring a magnificent 58.399 score.
The American gymnast defeated the 2022 all-around world champion Rebeca Andrade of Brazil by just 1.633 points.
With her stunning floor routine, Andrade took the silver medal with 56.766 and Shilese Jones scored 56.332, securing the bronze medal.
The female all-around event requires gymnasts to compete in a total of four apparatuses - floor exercise, uneven bars, balance beam, and vault. The gymnast’s scores in each of these events sum up to her ultimate all-around score.
Let’s take a look at the results of the all-around event;

Simone Biles displayed supremely impressive skills in the four apparatuses that she performed in. Despite having the Yurchenko double pike vault named internationally as Biles II, she attempted to perform an even better vault at the all-around event. The gymnast’s vault on Friday earned her a total of 15.1 points - 5.6 for difficulty and 9.5 for execution.
She was equally at her best in the uneven bars and balance beam, where she scored 14.333 and 14.433, respectively.
Although the first three apparatuses went smoothly for the legendary gymnast, she experienced a slight jerk in the floor routine. While performing a precise and breath-taking tumble, Biles experienced a small stumble.
The error moment got a few seconds of shock on her face. However, she immediately switched to a beaming smile as she quickly got things in her control. Fortunately, the stumble did not hinder Simone Biles from winning her sixth all-around title at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
