Congraulations to Trevor for winning his 6th World Championship All-Around title!
Trevor Brazile is a 9-time world champion. In 2007, he achieved a 1st place ranking in world standings. That same year he also became the first Triple Crown winner in over 24 years. Trevor: "It doesn't matter how many world championships you win, you will never forget a year where everything worked at the same time. That's what I can't stress enough. It's hard enough to make everything work to where you win a gold buckle, but to make everything work in three different categories and to win those gold buckles, it's special."
