However, a few minutes into the match it became apparent that whoever put together his team's ..

    Simone Biles glides to 4th straight US gymnastics title
    ST. LOUIS -- The national titles are starting to run together for Simone Biles, a three-year blur of near flawlessly executed routines and carry-on cases full of medals.

    OMAHA, Neb. -- Michael Phelps couldn't stop clapping. His eyes bounced back and forth from the pool down below to the scoreboard up above. With each stroke, he nodded in approval.

But though Stewart's patience may have been low, his fun meter was pegged. And when the 45-year-old, who's set to retire at the end of the season, is happy and exhibiting his cantankerous self, good things tend to hap..
