When women’s artistic gymnastics at the Paris Games came to a close Monday, Simone Biles was once again on the podium, this time with a silver medal around her neck.
Biles, who stepped out of bounds on two passes, garnered a 14.133, putting her just behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade. The individual all-around silver medalist earned a 14.166 on her floor routine, one of her strongest events, putting her ahead of Biles for the gold.
Jordan Chiles, the other U.S. gymnast participating in the event final, ended her Paris Olympics run with a 13.766, putting her ahead of Romania’s Ana Barbosu to join Andrade and Biles on the podium with a bronze.
Earlier Monday, falls on the balance beam, including by Biles and Suni Lee, left the U.S. out of individual medals contention in that apparatus, allowing Italy’s Alice D’Amato to nab the gold. D’Amato returned to floor, capturing a 13.6 that put her out of medal contention.
