Biles, Douglas make history look easy at Worlds

GLASGOW, Scotland -- It’s not enough for the U.S. women to set the gold standard in gymnastics.

At the rate they’re piling up the bling, their collection is going to rival that of a royal family.

Simone Biles became the first woman to win three consecutive titles at the world championships Thursday. One step below her on the podium was Gabby Douglas, the first reigning Olympic champ to win a world medal since way back in 1981.

“It’s such an honor, especially coming from the United States,” said Biles, who matched Svetlana Khorkina for total all-around titles.
