(Reuters) - Two falls on an "off day" did not prevent Simone Biles from becoming the first woman to win four all-around titles at the gymnastics world championships on Thursday.

Despite falls on the vault and balance beam, the American still finished with 57.491 points in Doha to add to the titles she won in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
