00:00 U.S. women's gymnastics team wins historic seventh consecutive world championship title.
00:05 The women's national gymnastics team, led by Simone Biles, has cemented a spot in sports
00:11 history with its seventh consecutive world championship title. The 26-year-old Biles,
00:17 who made her return to elite gymnastics just two months ago helped carry Team USA to a record
00:24 breaking gold medal at the World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium on Wednesday. Biles sealed the
00:30 deal with a floor routine in the final rotation which earned the highest score of the day and
00:34 solidified the team's victory by more than two points over Brazil. This win adds to Biles' status
00:41 as the most decorated female gymnast in history, with three three combined medals now. Breakout
00:47 star Lian Wang, 20, stepped up at a moment's notice to compete in Jocelyn Roberson's place in both
00:54 vault and floor routine after Roberson injured her ankle during warm-ups, forcing her out of
00:59 the competition. "Incredible night. I'm just so proud of this team," Wang told Good Morning America,
01:06 Thursday morning from Belgium. "I know it wasn't easy, but we fought through every event,
01:12 every skill and every routine. Winning the seven straight gold medal is pretty impressive."
