In the floor final, Biles delivered an impressive performance, an apparatus where she had shined throughout the Paris Games. However, two out-of-bounds landings resulted in a deduction of six-tenths of a point, leaving her with a score of 14.133, just behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who took gold with a score of 14.166.
Her Performance Remains Extraordinary Regardless
Despite these setbacks, Biles’ overall performance at the Games remains extraordinary. She had already secured gold in the team event with Team USA, the individual all-around, and the vault final, setting new records.
Biles now holds 11 Olympic medals, including seven golds, making her the most decorated American Olympic gymnast of all time. At 27, she also became the oldest American gymnast to win an Olympic gold.
