| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Kim. Today is Monday, August 12th, 2019. |
| 0:06.2 | And we begin with Simone Biles once again rewriting the record books for gymnastics. |
| 0:11.5 | Last night, she won her sixth all-around national title, |
| 0:15.0 | something no other American is done in 60 years. On her way to that historic |
| 0:20.0 | moment she threw in two more. She became the first gymnast to ever attempt and |

| 1:18.5 | something that didn't sit well with his mom and dad. |
| 1:21.0 | Even so, he worked his top time down to 5.3 seconds and only turned to his feet to give his hands a |
| 1:27.6 | break. That decision turned him into a Guinness World Record Holder, one he's putting on the line this coming weekend at a math |
| 1:34.4 | festival in New York City. |
