U.S. gymnastics champion Simone Biles became the first woman to land a triple-double during floor exercise competition Sunday night, according to Team USA, on the way to her record-tying sixth all-around title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri.
The 22-year-old took the top scores on floor, vault and balance beam but placed third on bars.
On Friday night, she became the first woman to try to land a double-twisting double somersault dismount of the high beam, Team USA said.
Biles’ sixth title tied the U.S. record mark by Clara Schroth Lomady in the 1940s and 1950s, when the AAU awarded national titles, according to Team USA.
