STAMFORD, Conn. – Reigning Olympic all-around gold medalist Simone Biles is favored to win her sixth all-around national title, which would tie a nearly 70-year-old record, this week at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships on NBC and NBCSN. Live TV coverage of the women’s U.S. Gymnastics Championships begins Friday at 8 p.m. ET on NBCSN, and concludes on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT (LIVE ET) on NBC.
The U.S. Championships will also feature 2017 world all-around champion Morgan Hurd and Riley McCusker, who were Biles’ teammates on the 2018 World Championships team that won gold.
On the men’s side, two-time Olympian Sam Mikulak seeks his sixth all-around title, which would tie him for the second-most all-time, while 2017 U.S. champion and two-time NCAA champion Yul Moldauer is also expected to compete for the all-around title.
The U.S. Championships is one of three events (for both men and women) that factor into selection for the 2019 World Championships, which will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, in October.
