Russia won the silver medal behind Simone Biles and the United States in the 2019 World Championships women’s team final.
The final took place on October 8, 2019, in Stuttgart, Germany. The U.S. team won gold with a total of 172.330 points, while Russia finished second on 166.529. Italy earned bronze with 164.796, completing the podium.
The result extended the United States’ remarkable run: the team captured its fifth consecutive World Championship title. Biles contributed on all four apparatuses—vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise—as the Americans built a substantial lead.
The silver medal was Russia’s strongest team result at these championships, although the Russian delegation competed under the country’s established gymnastics identity rather than being confused with Great Britain, Italy, or China. In the team final, each nation’s total came from its best counted routines across the four apparatuses.
