Simone Biles Wins every Gold Medal at U.S. Championships

BOSTON — All the gold medals for Simone Biles.Biles, in the second meet of her comeback, won her record fifth U.S. all-around title and swept the four apparatus titles, combining scores from Friday and Sunday at TD Garden.She never thought it would be possible, but she also wants to work on pre-meet nerves, consistency and confidence.“I’d give it a B-plus,” Biles told Andrea Joyce on NBC.The four-time Rio Olympic gold medalist became the first woman to win all five golds at the national gymnastics championships since Dominique Dawes in 1994.

“I knew I was capable of [scoring this well], but I kind of thought I was going to be a nervous wreck and maybe fall apart,” said Biles, who wore a teal mint leotard in part to stand with fellow Larry Nassar sexual-abuse survivors (teal ribbons were worn at NCAA meets in the winter and spring). “Going into these events, I know I kept telling my family like I don’t know if I’m going to be able to calm myself down the way I did before and handle the nerves, but so far, so good.”

Re: Simone Biles Wins every Gold Medal at U.S. Championships

Wow!...congratulations to her...well deserved!

The Olympic champion not only won her fifth title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships on Sunday night, she swept all four of the event titles. Even her “worst” event, uneven bars. “I guess I never thought it would be possible because you have to be so consistent,” said Biles, the first woman to sweep all the titles at nationals since Dominique Dawes in 1994.
