Olympic champion Simone Biles fell during a dismount at a USA Gymnastic competition on Sunday but still qualified for a record-tying fifth appearance at the world championships. The 22-year-old gymnast won the all-around competition and also landed the same triple-twisting double tumbling pass that wowed the judges at the national championships last month. She now becomes only the second American woman to earn a berth at five world champs.
