Simone Biles capped her 2024 Olympic Games with a bounce back to the podium.
After falling during her beam routine just hours earlier to lose out on a medal for the first time in these games, the superstar American gymnast rebounded on her floor routine to capture silver and finish her time in Paris with four total medals.
Despite experiencing some issues during warmups, Biles posted a score of 14.133 after landing out of bounds twice.
As a result, it wasn’t enough to beat out Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who tumbled to her first gold medal of the games with a score of 14.166.
Biles finished .033 behind Andrade.

American Jordan Chiles won bronze after an inquiry was submitted on her behalf.
It was reviewed and approved, taking the lead of her routine from a C-start value to a D, which upped her score.
The silver-medal finish brings Biles’ career Olympic medal total to 11, after she won gold with Team USA, the all-around title and vault.
