Biles took center stage yet again a day later, winning the vault title.

The four-time Olympic champion's triumph moved her past the record held by Vitaly Scherbo of Belarus.

Biles went on to add a silver in the uneven bars, ensuring that she has claimed a medal in every event she has contested — team, individual all-around and on all four apparatuses — at World Championships.

To make Biles' achievements all the more impressive, she was hospitalized with a kidney stone less than 24 hours before competing in Qatar.
