Simone Biles rose to the occasion and clinched the victory at the Xfinity US Gymnastics Championships and shattered the 90-year-old record of Alfred Jochim. However, the journey towards victory was not a cakewalk for Biles. Along with the challenges posed by Shilese Jones, Biles also faced an uphill competition from Suni Lee. While many anticipated Sunisa Lee to stay till the end, the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ icon faced setbacks due to a kidney condition since February 2023.

Consequently, Lee opted out of some events, leading to her withdrawal from the Xfinity Gymnastics Championship 2023. As a result, attention turns to the emerging talent, Jones, as a potential contender to challenge the 4-time Olympic gold medalist, Simone Biles.
