The U.S. women’s gymnastics team has come out on top once again. Simone Biles and her teammates sailed to victory on Tuesday at the world gymnastics championships in Doha, Qatar, claiming the United States’ fourth straight world title. Biles, widely considered one of the sport’s top athletes ever, had the top score in three events ― vault, uneven bars and floor exercise ― despite competing with a kidney stone. The U.S. team ― consisting of Biles, Riley McCusker, Kara Eaker, Morgan Hurd, Grace McCallum and Ragan Smith ― posted a team score of 171.629. The women handily overcame the Russians with an 8.766 margin of victory, the largest at a major international competition since 2011, according to The Associated Press.
