Simone Biles sported a goat rhinestone-embellished leotard while proving that she is the greatest of all time. The four-time Olympic champion claimed her seventh U.S title and continues her undefeated streak dating back to 2013.

After two days of competition at the United States Gymnastics Championships, Biles scored a total of 119.650, placing her at the top spot on the podium. The gymnast remained solid on all events, including the all-around. Her lowest score was 14.700, but her lead began after earning a 15.800 on her vault Friday night. It was only up from there as Biles continued to put on exceptional performances in all rounds, including beam, vault, and floor routine, choreographed by former Dancing with the Stars partner Sasha Farber. 

Biles is the only American woman to claim seven U.S all-around titles after being tied up with Clara Schroth-Lombady, who claimed six titles in the 1940s and ’50s.

Even after a grueling competition and well-deserved win, the champ doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon as the 2021 Tokyo Olympics are right around the corner. Biles told Olympics.com, “I feel like I did try to enjoy it because it could be one of my last championships that I’ll attend… But it’s also the road to Tokyo, and after this, we have trials, so we just have to really embrace the moment.”

While looking towards the 2021 games, Biles will need four more medals to claim the title of the most decorated gymnast at worlds and the Olympic Games. With Biles’s record of earning five medals at the 2019 World Championships, Biles can do it again, and the world will be watching with excitement.
