Biles fell at the end of her acrobatic series during the 2024 Paris Olympics balance beam finals Monday, denying her an opportunity to add to the bronzes she won in the event at the 2016 and 2020 Games.
No medal for Simone Biles on the balance beam this time. The American gymnastics star slipped and fell off the apparatus at the end of her acrobatic series during the beam finals at the 2024 Olympics in Paris on Monday, denying her an opportunity to add to the bronzes she won in the event at the 2016 and 2020 Games.Wearing a blue-and-white leotard featuring over 5,000 crystals, Biles was more than halfway through her set when she couldn't quite keep her balance.
Biles finished in a tie for fifth with Lee, whose hopes for a gold on beam she's long coveted ended in the middle of her routine when she fell during the end of her acro series, just like Biles did a few minutes later.The 21-year-old Lee will still leave Paris with three medals just months after she was bedridden while trying to navigate a pair of chronic kidney-related diseases.
