    Simone Biles wins record-equalling sixth US Gymnastics Championships title

    American Simone Biles became the first woman in almost 70 years to win a sixth all-around title at the US Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City On Sunday night.

    The 22-year-old, a four-time Olympic gold medallist, scored 118.5, with 16-year-old Sunisa Lee second on 113.5.

    The win moves her level with Clara Schroth Lomady, who won her sixth US all-around title in 1952.

    Biles became the first woman to attempt and land a triple-twisting, double back manoeuvre during her floor routine.

    “It wasn’t as good as in training,” said Biles, who scored 29.45 for her floor routine.

    “I’m just happy that I landed it because I feel like after night one my confidence got shot down. So I was really worried about it going into today, that’s all I could worry about. So I was really happy.”

    Biles missed the championships in 2017 but has now won the US all-around title six times in seven years.

    She has now won 20 straight all-around events in which she has competed, a run dating back to 2013.
