She's back and better than ever. 

Simone Biles in Antwerp might be the best we've seen her yet, just two months after she returned to competition. 

LIVE: Updates, scores from World Gymnastics Championships women's team finals

She's well on her way to more gymnastics history and has already put her name in the 2023 World Championships record book. During qualifications, Biles competed a Yurchenko double pike on the vault, scoring a 15.266. She's the first female gymnast to do the skill in international competition, so the skill is named "Biles II." It's the fifth skill named after the Olympian.

At 26, Biles is the oldest American woman to compete at Worlds in over 50 years. In a sport that's dominated by athletes in their teens, Biles signifies the change in longevity in gymnastics, particularly in the U.S. Only one American team member at Worlds is younger than 18.

Just how Biles defies the laws of gravity, she defies the laws of aging. She has her sights set on Paris, what would be her third Olympics. She would become the third America female gymnast to be a three-time Olympian.

Here's what you need to know Biles' competitions at the World Gymnastics Championships.

Simone Biles events at World Gymnastics Championships

Biles will compete in all women's events – the all-around, vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor. She will be competing in the women's team final, as well.

During qualifications, she finished first in all events except for bars, her Achilles heel. She finished fifth during qualification. Biles will compete against teammate Shilese Jones in all individual events except vault. Joscelyn Roberson will be the other American competing alongside Biles for the individual vault title.

In Biles's latest World Championships, she nearly swept the podium, winning gold in all-around, vault, beam and floor. She placed fifth in bars.

Per usual, Biles will likely make gymnastics history after the competition. Since her first Worlds in 2013, she's won a record 25 medals. Nineteen of those medals are gold, again, the most in gymnastics history.

Should she win the all-around title, she will be the first woman to have six all-around golds. Biles currently has 32 medals between Worlds and the Olympics, and one more would tie the record for most medals between the two competitions. It won't be surprising if she breaks it completely.
