Simone Biles missed a medal in the balance beam final on Monday at the Olympics in Paris after falling off the beam during her routine leaving the star gymnast appearing visibly disappointed.
Biles scored a 13.100 and came in fifth overall in the final. Her Olympic medal total will remain at 10 as she heads into the last event of the Paris Olympics, the floor exercise, where she is considered a favorite for gold.
Biles won bronze on the balance beam in both Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.
Her teammate, Suni Lee (13.100), also did not medal after falling during her routine.
Lee, who has six total Olympic medals, including two on uneven bars, has never won an individual balance beam medal. The balance beam was her final event of the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she picked up three more medals in a triumphant meet.
Italy’s Alice D’Amato won the gold with a score of 14.366. China’s Yaqin Zhou took the silver with a score of 14.100 and Italy’s Manila Esposito took the bronze coming in at 14.000. This was Italy’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in a balance beam final since 1912. D’Amato has earned two medals in Paris, also winning a silver in the team event earlier.
