Simone Biles, the most decorated U.S. women’s gymnast of all time, won the U.S. women’s Artistic World Championships and Pan American Games Selection camp in Texas on Tuesday. She posted a better score on vault than her competitor, Shi Jones, on bars, and automatically qualified for the team that will compete at the World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium from Sept. 30 to Oct. 8. Biles made her comeback this year at the U.S. Gymnastics Championship in August and became the first gymnast to win eight all-around titles. She has seven Olympic medals and has a chance to break that record, but has not said yet if she will compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
