Simone Biles And Suni Lee Miss Out On Medals In Olympics Balance Beam Final
HuffPost
The gymnastics great and U.S. teammate Suni Lee both fell during their routines, knocking them out of the medal contention.
Simone Biles and Suni Lee missed out on medals in the women’s gymnastics balance beam final Monday morning.
In her penultimate competition of the 2024 Games, Biles gave an impressive performance but stumbled and fell off the beam during her aerial series, giving her a score of 13.1 and a fifth-place finish.
Lee, who had been considered a strong contender for a podium finish, also fell when her foot slipped after a series of flips. She got the same score as Biles and finished sixth.
Italy’s Alice D’Amato performed with precision, receiving 14.366 to take gold. China’s Zhou Yaqin grabbed the silver, and Italy’s Manila Esposito won bronze.
Biles, who has 10 Olympic medals to her name, has made an incredible comeback so far in Paris after she dropped out of most events at the Tokyo Olympics and took a two-year break to prioritize her mental health.
