The World Artistic Gymnastics Championships return to Antwerp, the city that hosted the first edition 120 years ago, and it is a familiar hunting ground for Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in the competition's history.
The American won the first of her five world all-around titles in 2013 at the age of 16 in Antwerp and has since become a household name after winning a record 25 worlds medals -- which includes a jaw-dropping 19 golds.
Biles made headlines at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 when she withdrew from multiple events due to the 'twisties', a loss of spatial awareness in mid-air, an experience that can be terrifying for even the most experienced gymnasts. While the U.S. men are yet to secure qualification, the women are overwhelming favourites for top spot but Biles will have competition for the individual all-round gold.
