World Championships: Women's AA Final

Simone Biles of the USA won her sixth World AA title, tying the all-time record.  She also became the gymnast with the most World and Olympic medals in all of history, man or woman.  Brazil's Rebeca Andrade was 2nd and Shilese Jones, a UF commit, was third.  Biles started off with a 15.1 for a stuck Cheng, her best version of that VT since coming back, with a solid block and huge distance.  She stayed steady on UB.  On BB, she had a wobble after her mount and went to her backup combo (switch split, switch 1/2, back pike).  The crowd gasped, however, on FX when Biles tripped when heading into her switch split full.  Laughing after she landed, she posted a 14.533 despite losing the value of the skill.  As we all can attest, gymnasts can do a triple twisting double, but they'll trip when walking across the room.
