How Did 16-Year-Old Simone Biles Wrote History at 2013 World Gymnastics Championships Amongst Big Olympic Names?
When Simone Biles made her international debut at the 2013 World Gymnastics Championship, no one would have anticipated what great things this 16-year-old girl will be accomplishing in the future. However, at the end of the world championship, everybody knew a legend has been born. A gymnast that will change the course of the sport forever.
It’s been almost a decade since the 2013 world championship victory, and most sports fans might have moved on to Simone Biles‘ most recent achievements. However, in the timeline of her incredible career, the world championship at Antwerp, Belgium, is the most special memory.
How Simone Biles created history at her first world championship
The first major achievement is always a thing to remember. Though what made it special for Simone was the fact that it came while competing against the Olympians and the best gymnasts in the world. It was the moment she announced her dominance in the game. To win her first world championship title, Simone defeated overtook her Olympian teammate Kyla Ross with a final score of 60.216 points.

Not just for the world, but even for Simone, it was hard to believe what she has just accomplished. After her glorious victory, she said, “It feels pretty good, but it hasn’t really sunken in yet, but I know what I’ve done is a big accomplishment.”
What future holds for the most decorated gymnast?
Talking about her personal life, it’s certainly the best phase she is going through. Simone is currently planning her wedding with NFL star Jonathan Owens. The two got engaged on Valentine’s Day this year and ever since they are all over the media. In fact, the Olympic champion Biles has even finalized her dress for the wedding. This clearly points out that the date for the special day is somewhere near.

On the other hand, there hasn’t been any announcement by Simone about her career front. She has been away from gymnastics since the Tokyo Olympics and it would be interesting to see if she is planning for the next Olympics or not.
