Simone Biles shines in Antwerp – she wins World Cup gold.

The starting position was clear, there was agreement: Simone Biles (26) could only beat herself in Antwerp, Belgium. Given the normal course of the competition without any major mistakes, the gold could not be taken away from the high flyer.

From her perspective, Biles completed a “normal competition” – involving extremely difficult gymnastics that only she is capable of. The American, who is only 1.42 meters tall, performed as if she had never left international business, as if the mental problems that had forced her to take a two-year break from competing had not existed.

Simone Biles secured her sixth all-round title with a lead of 1.633 over defending champion Brazilian Rebeca Andrade (24). Shilese Jones (21), the second American finalist, came third.

For Simone Biles it was the 21st World Cup gold, the second in Antwerp. On Wednesday she had already triumphed with the team. (SDA/mom)
