American gymnast, Simone Biles slipped off the balance beam and failed to win a gold medal for the first time at this year’s Summer Olympics in Paris which have been serving as an emphatic comeback from disappointment three years ago in Tokyo-Japan.
In the individual beam final, Biles lost her balance and fell off the apparatus, costing her a chance to make even more history here in France. Alice D’Amato of Italy took home the gold medal while Zhou Yaqin of China took silver and Italian Manila Esposito took the bronze.
Simone Biles unfortunately was among several finalists to fall off the balance beam at the Paris Olympics Games.
However, Biles still has one more chance to win her fourth gold medal of these Games later on in the floor exercise final which marks the end of the 2024 Olympic artistic gymnastic competition.
If she is able to win gold in the floor exercise final, it will be her ninth Olympic medal of her career, the most of any American gymnast in the history of the games.
