Angelina Melnikova from Russia won the world all-around gymnastics title, narrowly defeating American Leanne Wong in a close competition, with Wong extending the US podium streak to 23 years despite challenging circumstances and absences of key athletes.
Simone Biles, the greatest gymnast of all time, won her eighth U.S. all-around title at the national championships, becoming the oldest gymnast to achieve this feat. Biles showcased her exceptional skills and consistency, dominating the competition by a margin of 3.9 points. Despite her success, Biles remains focused on her personal goals and is keeping her plans for the Paris Olympics next summer private. The championships also featured other talented gymnasts, including Shilese Jones, who won the silver medal, and Sunisa Lee, the reigning Olympic all-around champion. The top performers will have the opportunity to represent the United States at the upcoming world championships.
