From Monday, May 25, through Saturday, May 30 (starting at 8 p.m. ET), and Sunday, May 31 (starting at 10 a.m. ET), 2019 World Championships Week – Gymnastics features over 30 hours of programming from the 2019 World Gymnastics Championships from Stuttgart, Germany. Four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, two-time Olympian Sam Mikulak, four-time world medalist Jade Carey, three-time world medalist Suni Lee, and 2017 world bronze medalist (floor exercise) Yul Moldauer highlight the competition. Based on the current apparatus World Cup standings, Carey has mathematically clinched an individual spot for next year’s Tokyo Olympics.

The U.S. women’s team finished the 2019 World Gymnastics Championships atop the medal table with eight medals.

Biles also became the first gymnast since 1958 to earn five gold medals at a single world championships. In qualifying, Biles made history debuting two new skills for the first time on the international stage – a double-twisting double back dismount off balance beam and triple-twisting double back on floor exercise.
