As the women’s artistic gymnastics at the Paris Games concluded on Monday, Simone Biles was once again on the podium, this time with a silver medal around her neck.
Biles, who stepped out of bounds in two passes, scored a 14.133, placing her just behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade. The individual all-around silver medalist scored a 14.166 on her floor routine, one of her strongest events, which put her ahead of Biles for the gold.
Jordan Chiles, the other American gymnast to compete in the event final, finished her Paris Olympic run with a 13.766, putting her ahead of Romania’s Ana Barbosu to join Andrade and Biles on the podium with a bronze.
Previous Monday, falls on the balance beam, among others by Biles and Suni Lee, left the United States out of individual medals in that apparatus, allowing Italy’s Alice D’Amato to take the gold. D’Amato returned to the floor and took a 13.6 that put her out of medal contention.
