Simone Biles missed out on a fourth gold medal at the Paris Olympics as she fell from the balance beam on Monday.
Biles missed out on the podium for the first time at Paris 2024 after she briefly lost her balance and had to step off the beam.This saw the American superstar receive a score of just 13.100, meaning her Olympic journey ended with three golds and one silver.Biles’ USA teammate Sunisa Lee suffered a more serious fall and, hitting out at the crowd, claimed athletes were subjected to “shushing” noises on the sidelines.“You could feel the tension in the room.
“Me and Simone were like, ‘Why are they shushing?’ Like, we're just trying to cheer. “But yeah, came off and she was like, ‘I don't know why they were shushing in the middle of my routine.’”Following her routine, Biles appeared to be seen asking her coach why the crowd had been shushing her.“I feel like it was the pressure, the atmosphere,” Lee continued.“It was really silent when you get up there. I could literally hear myself breathing.
