Biles gets silver in floor for 11th Olympic medal in potential swan song
Simone Biles added an 11th Olympic medal to her vast collection Monday, winning silver in the women's floor exercise final.
Biles stepped out of bounds on multiple elements in the ambitious routine, scoring 14.133 and finishing behind Rebeca Andrade of Brazil's 14.166.
Jordan Chiles of the U.S. won bronze for the first individual medal of her Olympic career following a late change to her score.
Biles had never lost a major international competition in the event, including at the 2016 Rio Olympics, though she did withdraw from the competition at the 2020 Tokyo Games, citing the need to protect her physical and mental health.
Biles missed the podium earlier in the day with a fifth-place finish in balance beam after a fall. Fellow American Suni Lee finished sixth, while Italy's Alice D'Amato won gold.
Biles' silver in floor is her fourth medal in Paris, adding to the gold she won in the team, all-around, and vault events.
It's the 11th career medal for the 27-year-old U.S. star, tying her with Czechoslovakia's Vera Caslavska for second-most by a female gymnast in Olympic history. They trail Soviet Union gymnast Larisa Latynina's 18.
