Spring Texas gymnast Simone Biles wins third straight world all-around gymnastics title

Simone Biles of Spring once again is hands down the best women’s gymnast in the world.

Biles, 18, won an unprecedented third consecutive International Gymnastics Federation world all-around championship Thursday in Glasgow, Scotland, proving once more that even on something less than her best night, at 4 feet 9 she stands head and shoulders above the international field, capable of amazing even herself.

“Pretty speechless,” she said. “I keep closing my eyes because, yes, there are goals that I have and I dream of them and then I make them reality.

“I’m just shocked by myself. If I could crawl out of my skin and see it, it would be, like, amazing.”
