Simone Biles wins silver in final Olympics competition after balance beam fall and penalties on the floor
ai generated text
Simone Biles, the American gymnast, failed to win a gold medal for the first time at the Summer Olympics in Paris, losing her balance and incurring penalties on the floor in the individual beam final. Alice D'Amato of Italy won the gold medal with 14.366 points, while Zhou Yaqin of China took silver with 14.1 points. Manila Esposito won the bronze medal. This was a surprise loss for Biles, who had already led the United States to team gold and regained the all-around crown.
The Olympics is such a draining process for the athletes. It's multiple days of competitions, so you definitely have to be on top of your mental as well as your physical [health].
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.
