AT this rate Simone Biles is going to have some hefty excess baggage charges as she attempts to tote her medal haul from the 2015 World Gymnastics Championships back home to Texas.

The inimitable Biles won gold on beam and floor for USA in the final day of competition at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, taking her tally to four in these world championships as well as a bronze on vault.

A strong performance on beam saw the 18-year-old score an impressive 15.358 – more than a full mark ahead of nearest challenger Sanne Wevers (Netherlands) who took silver and bronze medallist Pauline Schaefer (Germany).

While the performances of her fellow finalists were littered with wobbles and falls, Biles – who claimed a record third consecutive world all-around title last Thursday – looked supremely confident as she made light work of a difficulty-packed routine.

The pint-sized powerhouse then produced a floor exercise with tumbling so dynamic it prompted gasps as she soared into the rafters of the packed arena.

Her compatriot Maggie Nichols also pulled off a top drawer routine but was leap-frogged in the final standings by Ksenia Afanaseva (Russia). Nichols had to settle for bronze. Great Britain’s Ellie Downie finished in sixth with Claudia Fragapane seventh.

That makes Biles a 10-time gold medallist in her first three world championships alone. One can only imagine what levels of greatness she will ascend at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

With reigning Olympic and two-time world high bar champion Epke Zonderland (Netherlands) absent after a disappointing show in qualifying, that threw the door open for Kohei Uchimura (Japan) to win gold.

Despite a glittering career to date, Japan’s “Superman” has never taken victory on high bar. This makes his tenth world title and his 19th medal at this level.

Danell Leyva (USA) picked up silver and Manrique Larduet (Cuba) – already a surprise silver all-around medallist at these championships – the bronze.

On vault reigning world champion Ri Se-Gwang (North Korea) successfully defended his title. Eight-time world gold medallist Marian Dragulescu (Romania) – who recently emerged from retirement for the third time at the age of 34 – claimed silver and Donnell Whittenburg (USA) bronze.

You Hao (China) dethroned 2014 world parallel bars champion Oleg Verniaiev (Ukraine) to take gold. Verniaiev finished in silver, while Oleg Stepko (Azerbaijan) and Deng Shudi (China) shared bronze. Great Britain’s Nile Wilson placed eighth.

On Saturday, Max Whitlock ended a 112-year wait to make history by becoming the first man from Great Britain to win gold at the world championships, claiming victory on the pommel horse at the SSE Hydro.

His team-mate Louis Smith took silver, while Whitlock also won a silver medal on floor.

This gives Great Britain a total of five medals including silver for the men’s team and bronze for the women last week, making it their most successful world championships to date.

Britain's head national coach for men's gymnastics, Eddie Van Hoof, described it as “a real milestone” for the success of the sport within the UK.

“It shows we are able to compete on a world level and can hold our heads up high,” he said. “It will only go from strength-to-strength into the rest of this [Olympic] cycle and the next one.”

According to Van Hoof, Great Britain’s golden boy Whitlock share some key traits with Uchimura.

“Max is similar in terms of his ability to focus and bring his mental game,” he said. “Because he’s not as physical as most of the gymnastics with his slight frame, you make your weak points some of your best points and get that even keel.

“We work really hard on execution with all of them. We have an artistry programme with the phrase ‘style is confidence’ and it’s about knowing you can stand there proud.”

Van Hoof said that the Great Britain men’s team as a whole exceeded expectations. “Our target was the bronze medal coming in,” he said. “That’s what we were really aiming at. But it showed China and Japan are vulnerable under pressure.”
