Fresh off her record-breaking eighth U.S. Gymnastics Championships title, Simone Biles returns to the Worlds for the sixth time. The Olympic champ is a 25-time medalist at this event, and will be looking to add to her already impressive list of accolades. This also marks Biles’ first appearance at the World Championship since 2019.

This year’s competition also takes on heightened significance as Olympic qualifying spots will be up for grabs. The U.S. women’s gymnastics team has already qualified for next year’s Paris Olympics, but the men’s team still needs to book their ticket.
