A rare fall cost Simone Biles her first medal of the 2024 Olympics.
Biles didn’t make it onto the rostrum within the beam event Monday, her second to last in Paris, after she was the fourth gymnast of the day to fall at Bercy Arena.
Ending with a rating of 13.100, Biles lost her probability of tying Larisa Latynina’s all-time Olympic gold medal record by a female American gymnast in these games.
Among the competitors in front of Biles stumbled during their routines, including fellow American Suni Lee, who crashed off the beam to miss out on a medal.
Biles wore her goat necklace as one other GOAT, Tom Brady, was in attendance to support her.
She has won three golds in Paris to this point within the team competition, all-around and vault.

The balance beam was the one individual event Biles medaled at in Tokyo, earning the bronze after withdrawing from a majority of events with the “twisties.”
Biles’ fall opened the door for Italy’s Alice D’Amato, who won her country’s first ever Olympic gold medal in women’s gymnastics with a rating of 14.366.
China’s Zhou Yaqin captured silver (14.366), while Italy’s Manila Esposito earned bronze (14.000).
