Simone Biles is trying to make more gymnastics history this week at the US championships. The four-time Olympics winner could become the first person to win eight US national all-around titles.
The 26-year-old Texan won the US Classic earlier this month, her first competition
in two years. She thrilled a sold-out crowd in suburban Chicago
with an all-around score of 59.100 points, five more than the the runner-up, Leanne Wong.
If she wins the all-around title on Sunday in San Jose, California
she will break the 90-year-old record set by Alfred
Jochim when he won his seventh in 1933. Biles will tie
that record in 2021 when she wins her seventh all-around title
She could also become the oldest US women’s all-around winner
since USA Gymnastics started in 1963.
