Simone Biles could have taken home four gold medals during the 2024 Paris Olympics but missed because of a scoring inquiry
.
In the clip, Biles, 27, asked coach Cécile Landi, “Is he asking?” to which Landi replied, “He said he did.” Cecile’s husband and coach, Laurent Landi, proceeded to speak in French. Cecile turned to Biles and said, “They didn’t send it.” Cecile then asked Laurent, “What about Jordan? You want to try?”
Biles placed in second, earning a 14.133 in the floor final with a 6.9 difficulty. If she had received full credit for her split lead, she would have earned an additional 0.10 in difficulty and a 14.233. The score would’ve placed her above Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who received a 14.166 and earned the gold medal.
“Honestly not a big deal for me, Rebeca had a better floor anyways,” Biles wrote via X on Tuesday, September 17. “Upsetting how it wasn’t processed but I’m not mad at the results.”Chiles initially placed fifth in the women’s floor exercise final on August 5, with Romania’s Ana Barbosu announced as the third-place winner. However, after Team USA requested an inquiry into the difficulty of one of her skills, she moved to third place.
