Simone Biles Set New Record With 8th U.S. Gymnastics Title
Written by Tariq on August 28, 2023
The gymnastics star Simone Biles just won her record eighth U.S. Championship. Biles, now a 26-year-old newlywed considered perhaps the greatest of all time, posted an all-around two-day total of 118.40, four points clear of runner-up Shilese Jones. Florida junior Leanne Wong claimed third, bolstering her chances of making a third straight world championship team. Biles became the oldest woman to win a national title since USA Gymnastics began organizing the event in 1963. Next stop is Antwerp in late September, where Biles will try to add to the 25 medals — 18 of them gold — she’s captured so far in her unparalleled career.
