Simone Biles missed out on a gold medal for the second time on Monday after being edged out in the floor exercise final.
Simone Biles missed out on a gold medal for the second time on Monday after being edged into second in the floor exercise final at the Olympics. Brazil's Rebeca Andrade became the first gymnast to beat Biles in a floor final in a major international competition, posting a score of 14.166 that finished just ahead of the American at 14.133. It was a couple of steps out of bounds which proved costly for Biles in terms of penalty points.
Biles' medal total of seven gold, two silver and two bronze ties Czechoslovakia's Vera Caslavska for the second-most by a female gymnast in Olympic history. Wearing a red-white-and-blue leotard featuring thousands of crystals, Biles ended nine days of competition in Paris by silencing the critics once and for all who have long derided her for pulling out of multiple events at the Tokyo Games three years ago.
