The 5 times Olympic Gold medalist Simone Biles achieved this feat on Friday, Aug 9, 2019, at the 2019 US Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri.

The tournament will continue on Sunday (Aug 11, 2019) and if Biles went on to win her sixth US title, she will be the second woman to do so after Clara Schroth Lomady.
