Back in 2021, Simone Biles tied a big record, winning seven U.S. all-around titles. Now, after two years, she’s ready to break that record with Alfred Jochim, who got seven men’s titles about 90 years ago. Moreover, the Xfinity U.S. Championships in San Jose is her second competition since coming back and also a chance to make history.

What’s interesting is that she’s having a close contest with Shi Jones. Jones tied with the 7X Olympic medalist in one round. It’s getting exciting to see who will end up on top and if  Biles will make history by getting her eighth U.S. all-around title.
