Simone Biles Breaks A 90 Year Old Gymnastics Record While Winning 8th National Title

Simone Biles is still making history!

The 26-year-old athlete was crowned the 2023 All-Around champion during the 2023 U.S. Gymnastics Championships held at SAP Center on Sunday (August 27) in San Jose, Calif,.

This marks the 8th time that Simone has earned the title, breaking even more records in the sport.

“I’ve been doing it for so long, I feel like I don’t think about numbers,” she told NBC Sports about the fete. “I think about my performance. I think overall, I hit 8 for 8 (clean events). So eight, I guess it’s a lucky number this year.”

Simone‘s 8th national title broke a previous record that was set in 1933, and also became the oldest woman to win at the championships.

While she still hasn’t made a decision on the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone is focused on her goals.

“I like to keep them personal, just so that I know what I’m aiming for. I think it’s better that way,” she shared. “I’m trying to move a little bit differently this year than I have in the past. I think it’s working so far, so I’m going to keep it a little bit secretive.”

Simone just recently returned to the sport following a two year break from the competitive circle.
