Dazzling Biles wins record 8th US all-around gymnastics title

The four-time Olympic gold medallist electrified the SAP Center crowd with a soaring floor routine that included a rock-solid landing on her signature Biles I tumbling pass of double layout with a half-twist.

Biles broke the record for most all-around titles for a man or woman, set by Alfred Jochim with his seventh in 1933 and matched by Biles in 2021. On Sunday in vault, she opted for a moderately less difficult Cheng vault, scoring 14.850 — still the second-highest scoring vault of the competition. Biles’s triumph came in just the second competition of her return from a two-year break, which followed her dramatic withdrawal from multiple events at the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

Biles did earn a balance beam bronze in Tokyo, and now she looks set to contend again at next month’s World Championships in Antwerp and, by extension, the Paris Olympics next year.But as she remains focused on her mental well-being, Biles declined to elaborate on the “personal goals” fueling her latest return to the sport, which started with an all-around title at the US Classic three weeks ago.
