Agence France-Presse

   STUTTGART, GERMANY - U.S. gymnastics star Simone Biles clinched a
   record-extending 15th world championship gold medal Tuesday as the
   Americans won the women's team title in Stuttgart.

   Biles, 22, collected her 21st medal at the championships to become the
   most decorated women's gymnast, taking her one clear of Russia's
   Svetlana Khorkina.

   She also moved to within two medals of the all-time record held by
   Vitaly Scherbo of Belarus, a men's gymnastics star in the 1990s.
