Talk about #BlackGirlMagic!!! Simone Biles won a record 7th all-around national title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships. The 4-time Olympic gold medalist has won every all-around championship she has competed in since 2013.
Every time she’s competed, she’s won.

Now with seven U.S. titles – one from every senior national she has ever entered dating back to 2013 – Biles has more than any other woman in history. She was previously tied for six with Clara Schroth Lomady, whose were won between 1945 and 1952 when the AAU was the sport’s national governing body. Biles is now tied with Alfred Jochim (1925-1930; 1933) for most by any American. Is it safe to say Simone is the GOAT?

Biles had the highest combined scores on beam, floor exercise, and vault; this is the fourth time she has won three or more event titles at nationals.
“I feel like every single championship stands out for a different reason, but this one stands out specifically because it’s the road to Tokyo,” Biles said.
“To be a mentor for them has meant everything for me and to share these accomplishments and these goals.”@Simone_Biles on sharing this experience with her teammates. #USGymChamps @OnHerTurf pic.twitter.com/Zds0QPWIen
