Simone Biles experienced a challenging day at the Summer Olympics in Paris, slipping off the balance beam and incurring penalties on the floor exercise.

Sadly, this led to her not winning a gold medal for the first time during these Games.

Despite these setbacks, her performance has still been remarkable, especially considering it marks a triumphant return from her disappointing experience three years ago at the Olympics in Tokyo.

Despite these setbacks, her performance has still been remarkable, especially considering it marks a triumphant return from her disappointing experience three years ago at the Olympics in Tokyo.

In the individual beam final, Biles lost her balance and fell off the apparatus, which ended her chances of making further history in France. Alice D’Amato of Italy won the gold, Zhou Yaqin of China claimed silver, and Italian Manila Esposito took bronze.

Later, in the floor final, Biles appeared to deliver another stunning performance, an apparatus she has historically excelled in. However, two instances of landing out of bounds cost her six-tenths of a point, bringing her score down to 14.133, just behind gold medalist Rebeca Andrade of Brazil, who scored 14.166.

Despite the less-than-ideal conclusion, Biles’ overall performance in Paris has been extraordinary. She solidified her legacy by winning gold in the team event with Team USA, the individual all-around competition, and the vault final. With these victories, Biles became the most decorated American Olympic gymnast of all time, amassing 11 Olympic medals, including seven gold. She also set a new record as the oldest American gymnast to win a gold medal at the age of 27.

Reflecting on her achievements, Biles remained positive. “I accomplished way more than my wildest dreams – not just at this Olympics, but in this sport,” Biles told reporters, per CNN. “So I can’t be mad at my performances. A couple years ago, I didn’t think I’d be back here at an Olympic Games, so competing and then walking away with four medals, I’m not mad about it. I’m pretty proud of myself.”
