World Championships: Biles Wins Record Third Straight AA Title

Despites a few mistakes, Simone Biles won her third straight Women's AA title at the World Championships.  Biles became the first woman to win three straight title (Svetlana Khorkina won three non consecutive titles).  The final margin of victory was her greatest in her three wins, despite having to grab the beam on her front tuck (near fall) and bouncing out of bounds on her second FX pass.  Olympic Champion Gabrielle Douglas won the silver while Romania's Larisa Iordache won the bronze.   

LSU commit Ruby Harrold (UK) was 22nd AA.
