Team USA Dominates World Championships, Wins Seventh Consecutive Title Led by Simone Biles

The United States women’s gymnastics team won their seventh consecutive world championship title on Wednesday night at the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium. Led by four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, the team earned a total of 167.729 points to edge out Brazil and France and break a tie with the Chinese men’s team for the most consecutive world titles.

The competition started on a difficult note for Team USA, as Joscelyn Roberson, who trains alongside Biles at World Champions Centre in Spring, Texas, sustained an injury in warmups and was carried off the podium before the first rotation. Despite this, the U.S. team was able to put up a dominant performance in qualifying and ultimately won by a margin of 2.199 points.

This marks the 26th world medal for Biles, who is the most decorated American gymnast in history. In addition to her four Olympic gold medals, she has also won 14 world championship medals, including four golds.

The U.S. women have now won gold in the team event at every world championship that included a team competition since 2011. This victory in Antwerp is a testament to the strength and resilience of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team, and it is sure to inspire future generations of gymnasts.
