Simone Biles has done it again.

Arguably the greatest gymnast of all time added to her already legendary resume by clinching the all-around title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships on Sunday for the eighth time in her career, setting a new record for most all-time

Biles entered this weekend’s competition at the SAP Center in San Jose tied with Alfred Jochim for most all-around titles at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, though Jochim achieved the feat over a century ago.

The 26-year-old capped her victory on Sunday with a dazzling floor routine that earned a score of 15.4 and drew a standing ovation from the crowd. Biles’ teammate and friend Jordan Chiles even gestured for the crowd to continue cheering before beginning her floor routine.

Biles finished with an all-around score of 118.45. Her floor routine score was more than a half-point than she earned on Friday night, and she also improved on her beam score by 0.40 points.
