  + stars: | 2023-10-09 | by ( Issy Ronald | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
The most successful gymnast of her time had shown her fallibility on the biggest stage of all, and as she completed a history-making comeback at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships last week, she completed refashioning those expectations of success. Records as well as medals announced Biles’ return to the pinnacle of the sport in Antwerp, Belgium. Five months ago, Biles didn’t think she’d ever compete again, she said on X, formerly known as Twitter. Nevertheless, ghosts from Tokyo still lingered at the world championships, she said afterwards, memories bubbling to the surface and making her “nervous” for the team finals on Wednesday. Simone Biles became the first woman to land the Yurchenko double pike vault at an international competition.

Michael McFaul, the U.S. ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014, said that while many would back the idea of peace talks, not everyone would believe Putin would "negotiate in good faith."
