Simone Biles loses out on gold after shock balance beam fall

Simone Biles had a rough day at the Summer Olympics in Paris after tripping on the balance beam and receiving a penalty during the floor exercise.

She was unfortunately unable to win a gold medal at these Games for the first time.

Despite these challenges, her performance has been outstanding, particularly considering that it marks a triumphant return from her miserable Olympic experience in Tokyo three years earlier.

When Biles lost her balance and fell off the apparatus in the individual beam final, her hopes of making further history in France were destroyed. Chinese Zhou Yaqin took home the silver medal, Italian Alice D’Amato won the gold, and Italian Manila Esposito took home the bronze.

Biles appeared to put on yet another amazing performance in the floor final, which is something she has always been skilled at. However, two out-of-bounds landings cost her six tenths of a point, and she ended with a score of 14.133, just lagging behind Rebeca Andrade, the gold medallist from Brazil, who scored 14.166.
