ANTWERP, Belgium (AP) — Simone Biles has claimed a third gold medal at the 2023 gymnastics world championships on Sunday by winning the women's beam with a superb routine on the final day of the competition.

Biles oozed confidence throughout.

She had no hesitation on her jumps and delivered controlled spins before dismounting in style, with just a small hop when landing.

She earned a score of 14.800 points to win ahead of China's Zhou Yaqin by a margin of just 0.1 of a point.

\Rebeca Andrade of Brazil took the bronze medal.

In Antwerp, where she started her collection of 22 world titles 10 years ago, Biles has made a stunning return to the international stage.
