Gymnast Simone Biles wins her record 8th U.S. Championship

Simone Biles, considered by many as the greatest gymnast of all time, has made history by winning her record 8th U.S. Gymnastics Championship title.

The 26-year-old superstar gymnast dominated the competition in San Jose, California, posting an all-around two-day total of 118.40, four points clear of runner-up Shilese Jones.

Biles' triumph came a decade after she first ascended to the top of her sport as a teenage prodigy

With her latest victory, she became the oldest woman to win a national title since USA Gymnastics began organizing the event in 1963.

The four-time Olympic gold medalist showcased her unparalleled skills and athleticism throughout the competition.

Her breathtaking floor routine, which earned her a score of 15.400, brought the crowd to their feet. Biles also recorded the highest scores on the vault (14.850) and balance beam (14.800)

Biles' record-setting 8th title surpasses the previous record held by Alfred Jochim, who won seven titles between 1925-33 when the Amateur Athletics Union ran the championships.
