See You At The Olympic Trials — Simone Biles Just Made History, Again, With Her 9th National Championship
Simone "History-making" Biles is back with another gymnastics feat!
On Sunday night, Simone won her record-breaking ninth all-around national title at the 2024 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth, Texas.
Simone is now the first gymnast — man or woman — to win nine all-around championships. She won her first title back in 2013 and continued her reign in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2023.
She finished with a score of 119.750 during the two-day competition — the highest score recorded for all four events (vault, bars, beam, and floor). The last time she swept at the U.S. Championships, winning gold medals in all of her events, was in 2018.
"I couldn't be more proud of how I'm doing at this time in the year," Simon told NBC after her win. "Just gaining that confidence over and over, getting myself back in front of a crowd and just doing what I do in practice."
This amazing accomplishment means Simone automatically qualifies for a spot at the Olympic trials. The only thing left to do now is wait to see who will join her on Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Her support system, including her husband Jonathan Owens, her sister Adria Biles, and their mother Nellie Biles, were all there in the crowd to cheer her on.
We love to see it!
My wife is the SHIT 🔥🔥
