Any doubt that Simone Biles is one of the greatest athletes of all time was laid to rest at the 49th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Stuttgart,Germany.The 22-yearold dominated the competition,which took place from October 4 to October 13,2019,winning gold in five of her six events.Biles gained a total of 25 medals,19 of which are gold,now exceed（超过）Belarus gymnast Vitaly Scherbo's 23 medals, making Biles the most decorated gymnast at the World Championships.

Biles' winning streak began on Tuesday,October 8,when she helped the American women's gymnastics team take home their fifth consecutive（连续不断的）world championship title.And on October 10,the young gymnast performed better than 23 competitors in four disciplines to become the first and only woman to win five all-around world titles.

The amazing gymnast continued to dominate in the individual events.On Saturday,October 12,Biles won the vault by more than half a point averaging 15.399 for her two attempts.On October 13,she outpaced fellow US gymnast Sunisa Lee by a full point in the floor routine,and her balance beam score of 15.066 was sixtenths of a point ahead of silver medalist Liu Tingting of China.The only event Biles didn't get a medal in was the uneven bars where she placed fifth.

Biles'wins are even more unbelievable because of her increasinglyintricateroutines.Her double-twist somersault（空翻）on the balance beam during the 2019 US Championships in August was so difficult that the Women's Technical Committee of the InternationalGymnastics Federation （FIG）didn't give the athlete the extra credit it deserved.The committee argued that doing so would encourage inexperienced gymnasts to attempt it,leading to serious injuries.

难句分析

Her double-twist somersault on the balance beam during the 2019 US Championships in August was so difficult that the Women's Technical Committee of the International Gymnastics Federation（FIG）didn't give the athlete the extra credit it deserved.在8 月举行的2019 年美国体操锦标赛上，她在平衡木上翻了两个筋斗，难度太大，以至于国际体操联合会女子技术委员会没有给她应得的额外荣誉。

该句为主从复合句，句中so...that...引导结果状语从句，定语从句it deserved 修饰the extra credit。

艺术体操

艺术体操又称“韵律体操”，是一项新型的女子竞技体育项目，起源于欧洲。19世纪末出现有音乐伴奏的各种身体动作。20世纪初，瑞士日内瓦音乐学院教师雅克·达尔克罗兹创编的韵律体操，将身体练习与音乐结合起来，并从最初的徒手发展为使用轻器械的形式。1962年被国际体操联合会确定为比赛项目。1963年起举办世界艺术体操锦标赛，包括团体赛、个人全能赛和个人单项赛。
