Following her accomplishment, Simone Biles took to Instagram and remarked, “It was an interesting & unexpected night!”

While showing love to Simone Biles, we also had to give Khoi Young a shoutout for earning a silver medal in the men’s vaulting event!
The Gymnast Returned To The Sport Just A Couple Of Months Ago
This noteworthy development comes only two months after Simone Biles returned to gymnastics following a two-year hiatus, as The Shade Room reported.
Shortly after returning to — and dominating — the sport, she made history by becoming the U.S. gymnast with the most all-around national titles (eight). She specifically broke her tie with Alfred Jochim, who earned his seventh American title a whopping 90 years earlier.
Additionally, her recent U.S. Gymnastics Championships win made Simone the oldest woman to come out on TOP in the competition.
Congratulations to Simone Biles!
