Simone Biles took home the silver medal, while Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade took the gold.
While Chiles had scored 13.666 in the final – initially putting her in fifth place – it was later upgraded to 13.766, which placed her third and ahead of Barbosu.
Due to the score change, Barbosu lost her place on the podium.
