Simone Biles’ record-breaking exploits have been hailed by US president Joe Biden, who said the gymnast represents “the best” of America.

Biles, a 19-time world champion, claimed a record eighth all-around US Championship title at the weekend with a total of 118.40, four clear of runner-up Shilese Jones in San Jose.

The 26-year-old only returned to competition in Chicago earlier this month after a two-year break from gymnastics.

At the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Biles suffered from “the twisties” – a phenomenon which affects an athlete’s spatial awareness – and had to withdraw from five of her six finals.

She subsequently took a break from the sport before she returned to action earlier in August.

Biles’ record-breaking exploits on Sunday, 10 years on from winning her first all-around US Championship, resulted in high praise from Biden, who hailed the American athlete as a “trailblazer.”

“When we see Simone compete, we’re witnessing unmatched power and grace,” Biden wrote on Twitter.

“Not only is she the first in history to hold all eight U.S. gymnastics titles, but she’s a trailblazer who spoke up for those who couldn’t speak for themselves.

“You represent the best of America.”

The seven-time Olympic medallist became the oldest female US champion since the event was first organised by USA Gymnastics in 1963.

She is expected to bid to add to her haul of 25 World Championship medals in Antwerp in September.

Biles has not confirmed whether she plans to compete at next year’s Olympic Games in Paris.

Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson was forced to settle for another World Championships silver.

The 21-year-old was beaten to 800m gold by Kenya’s Mary Moraa in Budapest just 13 months after she also finished second in Eugene.

Hodgkinson clocked one minute 56.34 seconds with defending champion Athing Mu in third and GB’s Jemma Reekie fifth.

Hodgkinson had been beaten into silver by Mu at last year’s World Championships before Moraa took gold at the Commonwealth Games ahead of her.

Before the final, the Olympic silver medallist admitted she owed them both but was unable to beat Moraa despite overhauling Mu in the final 50m on Sunday night.

A fashion statement from Zhou Guanyu.

Matt Hudson-Smith revealed his injury battle after a brave 400 metres silver – but insisted the world title slipped through his fingers.

Just as gold seemed to be his at the World Championships in Budapest, the 28-year-old was caught by Antonio Watson with just metres left.

Hudson-Smith, who ran 44.31 seconds, was leading down the final straight but Jamaica’s Watson began to make ground with 50m remaining and snatched the lead with around 10m left.

The Briton, who had been battling Achilles tendonitis since May which threatened his hopes of competing in Hungary, struggled to hide his frustration.

“I came here looking for gold,” said the double European champion. “You are never satisfied, you’re always going to want more. Even when you look back and go: ‘what if?’ I’m grateful but I know there’s more.

“It’s been a topsy-turvy year. I’ve had Achilles tendonitis really badly so that’s why I’ve been pulling up, that’s why I’ve been in a wheelchair in London (Diamond League). Sometimes I can’t walk, sometimes I can.

“My Achilles has been mashed up bad. This has been like a mental battle. I came for the gold, tired up (in the) last 30 (metres) but under the circumstances I can’t complain.

“It was do or die. I tried to find a gear but that’s what happens when you don’t really have races. I found an extra gear in the semi-finals but it’s not there yet. I’m going to finish off the season, aim to get 43 (seconds), finish off strong.”

Last year, immediately after winning world bronze in Eugene, the Wolverhampton runner revealed he struggled with his mental health to the point where he tried to take his own life.

A little more than 13 months on and Hudson-Smith can call himself one of the world’s best, ahead of next year’s Olympics in Paris.

He had set a new personal best of 44.26 seconds in the semi-final, breaking a 36-year-old European record in the process.

“Next year, we’ve got big plans. I’ve just got to stay healthy,” said Hudson-Smith.

“That’s the moral of my story in my career, to stay healthy but we’re getting there. It’s just building consistency. Once I’m there, it will be 43s and golds.”

He added to the British medals after golds for Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Josh Kerr in the heptathlon and 1500m and Zharnel Hughes’ 100m bronze.

Earlier on Thursday, Ben Pattison reached the 800m final but Max Burgin and Daniel Rowden failed to progress while Jamaica’s Danielle Williams claimed the women’s 100m hurdles title with the Netherlands’ Femke Bol winning the women’s 400m hurdles.

Snooker

After initially losing his cue in transit, things didn’t get much better for Neil Robertson. He lost his match 5-3.

Keely Hodgkinson welcomed another showdown with Athing Mu after the defending 800m world champion showed her hand.

American Mu had kept her rivals guessing over whether she would turn up in Hungary after her coach, Bobby Kersee, last month suggested she may skip the World Championships.

But the 21-year-old, who forced Hodgkinson to settle for silver in Eugene last year, won her heat in one minute 59.59 seconds in Budapest on Wednesday.

Hodgkinson eased into Friday’s semi-finals after winning her heat in one minute 59.53 seconds and is eager to take another shot at Mu.

“Yeah, I saw here in the warm-up. It’s good that she’s here. Hopefully all three of us (Hodgkinson, Mu and Mary Moraa) will make it to the final and it will be a good race,” she said.

“I was just jogging and she passed me and I was like ‘oh, she’s come’ because nobody knew. That’s the first time I knew, I knew she was on the start list. I didn’t know she was here.”

Hodgkinson also had to contend with temperatures over 30 degrees at 10am in Hungary.

World Athletics had already moved the women’s 5,000m heats to Wednesday evening because of the soaring heat and Hodgkinson admitted it has been a battle.

She said: “The conditions are awful. Mixed in with the 6am does not bode well for me.

“But I’ve got it done; I’m glad it’s the only morning round. I like to be back at 12 and done but I also like my sleep.

“Anti-doping came for me yesterday as well, at 6am at the door, so I was not happy. But as I say, first round out the way.

“It’s just (about) keeping cool. Even when I came the other night on Sunday to watch and just being sat there in the heat, it’s draining.”

Jemma Reekie joined Hodgkinson in the semi-finals after running one minute 59.71s and feels she is in a better place to challenge the best, following the split from coach Andy Young this year.

She said: “I expected Mu to be here and I want Mu to be here. I want them all in that final and I want me in that final. I want to run the best against the best in the world.

“It’s so nice compared to last year. Last year, I wasn’t ready. This year. I’m more than ready.

“I’m better than I’ve ever been. But you can’t take these heats and semis for granted.”

In the men’s 200m, Zharnel Hughes – who won 100m bronze on Sunday – breezed through to the semis in 19.99s.

“It was like a Sunday jog,” he said. “I’m inspired, after getting that medal it makes you want more. It makes you more committed and dedicated to see what more you can do.

“The job’s not done yet. I’m not disrespecting anyone, I’m just letting you know I am in shape. I am feeling well and I am looking forward to going through the rounds.”

Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith overcame their 100m disappointment by reaching the women’s 200m semi-finals.

Asher-Smith finished eighth in the 100m final on Monday but won her heat in 22.46s and Neita, who failed to make the final, came second in her heat in 22.39s.

New 100m world champion Sha’Carri Richardson was the fastest qualifier in 22.16s.

Neita said: “I had to have a memory of a goldfish, the 100m didn’t go to plan, we will review it after the Championships. We all know I’m capable of much better things.

“It’s patience this game. I know where I’m at and what I need to work on. Doubling up before next year (Olympics), I’m getting a great rehearsal.”

Great Britain’s Matt Hudson-Smith targeted global glory after smashing the European 400m record.

The 28-year-old continued his bid to improve on last year’s bronze medal by reaching Thursday’s 400m final at the World Championships.

He ran an impressive semi to win in 44.26 seconds, a new personal best, on Tuesday in Budapest. He also broke the event’s 36-year European record, set by Thomas Schonlebe in 1987.

“I will be happy when I get that medal, as for (the record), that is just job done,” said Hudson-Smith.

“Coach told me to execute 300m and make sure the job was done, and then when I knew I was clear, I was saving something for the final, and I did that. I just need to get that medal now.

“My coach told me beforehand to enjoy it. He said ‘have you done this before?’ and ‘do you feel like you deserve to be here?’

“I have worked too damned hard to not get to the final. So I am really happy to have made it and it is all about getting that medal on Thursday.”

Wayde van Nierkerk, the 2016 Olympic and double world champion, needed a fastest loser spot after coming third in his heat.

There was also pride for Laura Muir, despite a sixth-placed finish in the 1500m final.

The Scot ran three minutes 58.58 seconds as defending champion Faith Kipyegon took the title at the National Athletics Centre.

Muir has endured a difficult build-up to the Championships when, along with Jemma Reekie, they split with long-term coach Andy Young in March.

She was surprisingly beaten by Katie Snowden to the British title last month but was fifth at the bell in an intense race before settling for sixth.

“I feel I lost a lot of time with the (coaching) disruption,” she said. “I wasn’t clawing it back but I needed to get into a new rhythm and reset. It took a lot out of me and we saw that in some races this year. It’s looking positive.

“It’s been very, very hard. It’s very different. I’ve been used to a certain situation for 12 years. It’s different but it’s very positive. It’s going to take time. You can’t rush these things.

“It’s not an excuse for the way I ran today. I’m proud of the way I ran. I did the best I could.”

Snowden and Melissa Courtney-Bryant were eighth and 12th respectively, while Max Burgin opened his 800m campaign with a comfortable second place in his heat.

The Brit clocked one minute 14.43s and team-mates Dan Rowden and Ben Pattison joined him in the semi-finals.

Burgin said: “It feels like a long time coming. It has been frustrating missing all these major championships over the last couple of years, so it feels great that I have finally made it.

“I made it to the start line and got into the semis, so it’s already an improvement on last year.

“I am in good shape and hopefully I will have more to give in the next round. I felt as good as I did in London (Diamond League) today, so it is a good sign.”

Cindy Sember also reached the 100m hurdles semi-finals in a time of 12.83s but Jessie Knight failed to make the 400m hurdles final.

Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.

Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from August 22.

Football

The Lionesses returned home and vowed to come back stronger.

Peter Crouch had a win.

Cricket

Alex Hartley called it a day.

Formula One

George Russell was ready to return to action.

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were on the water.

Snooker

Six-time world champion Steve Davis turned 66.

Gymnastics

Max Whitlock returned.

New world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson must still up her game for Olympic glory, according to her coach Aston Moore.

The 30-year-old grabbed a stunning heptathlon gold at the World Championships to cap her comeback after an injury nightmare.

An Achilles tear in December 2020 threatened her career while a calf injury at the Tokyo Olympics forced her to withdraw after the first day.

Sunday’s win in Budapest saw her regain the title she first won in 2019 after beating favourite Anna Hall.

Johnson-Thompson admitted pre-championships it could be her last heptathlon before next year’s Paris Olympics and Moore believes the biggest challenge is to come.

“Nafi Thiam (Olympic champion) isn’t here and you know Anna Hall is going to come back probably better than she has been right now, so Kat has still got to step her game up,” he said.

“But the thing is this is just one of the steps on that journey of coming back. It’s good that the comeback partially has brought about a world champion but we still have a fair way to go yet. She’ll be one of the favourites but let’s see what happens.

“This is Kat’s moment back to, let’s say, the top, where she’s hunting for something. She’s not a spectator.

“Last year she was in a really bad place for her, where she was just looking at other people picking up medals. This time she was actually hunting for one of those places. That changes your psyche.

“It’s been a tough journey for her. I think a lot of people probably thought it wasn’t possible for her to come back. But you never know what’s possible until you’ve actually done it.

“And you might as well believe it’s possible until you don’t do it. She’s actually proved a lot of people wrong.”

Johnson-Thompson beat Hall by just 20 points after running a personal best of two minutes 5.63 seconds in the 800m to ensure the American did not snatch gold.

She also threw a personal best of 46.14m in the javelin and Moore believes Johnson-Thompson’s quiet confidence was key.

He said: “I was almost in tears. It’s just a fantastic performance. Especially the way it was done.

“An athlete has belief about themselves but you never know what you can bring out of yourself until you’ve actually done it.

“For a while she’s had 2:05 in her head, thinking ‘I can do this, I can do this’ – and Anna Hall brought it out of her. We’re so happy about that.

“We knew that the job was possible. We just quietly got on with it without any fuss. This is the fruits of those labours.

“I’m a believer in getting to that zen moment and literally do. Process, process, process. Follow the process and you’ll get what you want.”

And Johnson-Thompson credits Moore’s gruelling 800m sessions for preparing her for victory.

“I love running fast and then having a load of the rest. But your weaknesses are something that you need to work on,” she said, after officially receiving her medal from World Athletics president Seb Coe on Monday.

“It was just a lot of aerobic stuff where you have a short rest and go again, short rest, go again, and that’s still the case. We were ready for that battle.

“I didn’t think I could run that time but I hate the feeling of not being ready to fight.

“I’ve had about six hours sleep over the last two days. I went to bed instantly but then I woke up, like, within an hour and I was just like ‘OK, this is me all night’. I was just awake. Just trying to make sense of it all.”
