Gymnast claimed eighth title a decade after the first having returned to action from a two-year break.
Simone Biles has claimed a record eighth all-around US Championship less than a month after ending a two-year break from gymnastics.
The 19-time world champion, 26, claimed the record-breaking crown – 10 years after winning her first – as she posted a total of 118.40, four clear of runner-up Shilese Jones, in San Jose, California. Biles returned to competition in Chicago earlier this month after suffering from “the twisties” – a phenomenon which affects an athlete’s spatial awareness – and withdrawing from five of her six finals at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 to focus on her mental health.
