Simone Biles set the record by a female for career gold medals at the world gymnastics championships Sunday by winning the balance beam and floor exercise. The 18-year-old now has 10 golds in all, breaking the mark held by Svetlana Khorkina, Gina Gogean and Larisa Latynina. The three-time all-around champion posted a score 15.358 on beam, more than a point better than silver medalist Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands and bronze medalist Paulin Schaefer of Germany.
