Simone Biles has won her ninth US Championship title ahead of the Paris Olympics in July.
The 27-year-old finished six points ahead of second placed 19-year-old Skye Blakely with a score of 119.750 as she looks to win her fifth gold medal in Paris.
Biles, who won her first US title in 2013, had the highest two-day score on all four events and only faltered slightly on the vault.
