Armour: Being on top isn't challenge for Simone Biles, it's staying there

Six years before Simone Biles was re-writing gymnastics' record books, extending her two-year winning streak Saturday night with her third consecutive U.S. title, there was Yuna Kim.
The South Korean figure skater would go on to win gold at the Vancouver Olympics, posting records that might never be broken along the way. It's her path that Biles hopes to emulate, not that of would-be champions like the 1980 Soviet hockey team, wrestler Alexander Karelin, decathletes Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson and figure skater Michelle Kwan.
