Simone Biles Aims to Make History with Eighth All-Around Title at U.S. Gymnastics Championships
Simone Biles, the renowned gymnast, is on the verge of achieving something that no other gymnast, male or female, has ever done before. Biles is set to compete in the U.S. gymnastics championships in San Jose, California, where she will be vying for her eighth all-around national championship title. With a comfortable lead of over 2.5 points ahead of her competition, including reigning world all-around silver medalist Shilese Jones, Biles is a favorite to secure the historic title.
In June 2021, Biles won her seventh U.S. championship, drawing level with Alfred Jochim, who clinched seven all-around titles almost a century ago. As Biles reflects on her performance during the first night of competition, she expressed her satisfaction, saying, I’m pretty happy with the overall meet today. My goal for the weekend is just to hit 8-for-8 and then hopefully come in on Sunday and hit a little bit of a smoother beam routine.
Fans and viewers eager to witness Biles’ quest for history can tune in to the live updates of the championships. The women’s senior competition will culminate on Sunday night, starting at 6:30 p.m. ET. NBC and CNBC will be airing the U.S. gymnastics championships on television, though not all events will be broadcast live. More details about the broadcast schedule can be found on NBCSports.com.

The event will be live streamed on NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app, and Peacock, ensuring that enthusiastic supporters can stay engaged and witness the outstanding performances by gymnasts such as Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Suni Lee.
