What score won Biles the 2013 World individual all-around title?

The story behind the answer

Simone Biles won the 2013 World individual all-around title with a score of 60.216.

The final took place in Antwerp, Belgium, during Biles's first World Championships. At 16, she became the seventh American woman to win the world all-around crown and the first African American gymnast to do so. Her total placed her nearly a point ahead of American teammate Kyla Ross, the silver medalist.

Biles reached every individual event final in Antwerp, becoming the first American gymnast since Shannon Miller in 1991 to qualify for the all-around and all four apparatus finals at one World Championships. She later won floor exercise gold, vault silver, and balance beam bronze.

The score is easy to confuse with later totals. For example, Biles's 2023 World all-around score was 58.399, while 60.216 belongs to her breakthrough 2013 victory. The scoring system of that era also differs from the current open-ended system, so scores from different championships should not be compared without context.
