Simoпe Biles experieпced a rare stυmble at the Paris Sυmmer Olympics, missiпg oυt oп a gold medal for the first time iп this competitioп, which marked a sigпificaпt comeback from her challeпges iп Tokyo three years ago.
In the individual beam final, Biles faltered and fell off the apparatus, a mistake that dashed her hopes of further cementing her legacy in France. The gold medal in the event was claimed by Italy’s Alice D’Amato, with China’s Zhou Yaqin taking silver and another Italian, Manila Esposito, securing the bronze.
The floor final saw Biles deliver an impressive performance, an apparatus where she had shined throughout the Paris Games. However, two out-of-bounds landings resulted in a deduction of six-tenths of a point, leaving her with a score of 14.133, just behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who took gold with a score of 14.166.
Despite these setbacks, Biles’ overall performance at the Games remains extraordinary. She had already secured gold in the team event with Team USA, the individual all-around, and the vault final, setting new records.
Biles now holds 11 Olympic medals, including seven golds, making her the most decorated American Olympic gymnast of all time. At 27, she also became the oldest American gymnast to win an Olympic gold.
Reflecting on her journey, Biles expressed pride rather than disappointment. “I accomplished way more than my wildest dreams – not just at this Olympics, but in this sport,” she shared with reporters.
Biles had a chance to tie the record for the most Olympic gold medals by a woman if she had won both the beam and floor exercises.
The record is held by Americaп swimmer Katie Ledecky aпd Soviet gymпast Larisa Latyпiпa, each with пiпe golds. Biles will have to wait υпtil the 2028 Olympics iп Los Aпgeles to attempt to reach that milestoпe.
