CNN —It was a familiar sight – Simone Biles twisting though the air, effortlessly and powerfully completing routines no other female gymnast has ever landed in competition.
An eighth title for Biles would break the record that she currently shares with Alfred Jochim, who won his seventh title 90 years ago in 1933.
Biles is the most decorated gymnast in US history, winning 32 medals across the Olympics and the world championships.
Gymnastics Championships begins at 3.30 p.m. PST (6.30 p.m. ET/11.30 p.m. UK time) on Sunday.
Biles will begin on vault, before taking on the uneven bars, balance beam and finishing on floor.
