- American takes beam title after superb routine
- Jarman wins Great Britain’s first gold of competition
Simone Biles claimed a third gold medal at the 2023 gymnastics world championships on Sunday by winning the balance beam with a superb routine on the final day of the competition, during which Jake Jarman won Britain’s first gold of the tournament.
Biles oozed confidence throughout. The American star 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.
