made history again as she won a historic 8th national all-around title at the Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships on Sunday, August 27, with a final score of 118.450.
The 26-year-old finished in first place in all-around, floor and balance beam events at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. Biles got a standing ovation after her final event, the floor routine. The win makes Biles the first gymnast ever to have eight national all-around titles. She’s also the oldest U.S. women’s all-around champion.
Biles previously secured seven national all-around titles, leaving her tied with the late Alfred Jochim, who earned the seventh title in 1933. After the event, she told NBC sports that it felt “really special” to return to the championships and receive the standing ovation.Even the GOAT needs a break sometimes. Simone Biles shocked the world when she bowed out of the Tokyo Olympics — but that wasn’t the first time she’d advocated for her mental health.
Her historic win comes just weeks after she made her first return to competitive gymnastics in two years. Despite the break, she was still at the top of her game,next year. However, Biles was trying to stay in the moment and not get too far ahead of herself.“Right now, I think I should just embrace what happened today. Be happy for me, for my teammates,” she told reporters in Chicago after the Classic on August 6.
