Simone Biles experienced double disappointment at the Paris Olympics after missing out on the gold medal in both the balance beam and floor exercise.

The US gymnastics sensation won a silver medal in the floor exercise on Monday afternoon after a routine that included some costly steps outside the playing field, and was therefore unable to repeat her gold medal from eight years ago in Rio de Janeiro.

Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade won gold and became the first gymnast to defeat Biles in a floor final at a major international competition.

Andrade scored 14.166, just ahead of Biles’ 14.133, while Jordan Chiles took bronze.

A defiant Biles said: “I couldn’t be prouder of my achievement. I’m 27 years old and I’m leaving these Games with four medals for my collection. I’m not mad about it.”

“I have achieved much more than I thought. A few years ago I would never have thought I would come back here.”

The seven-time Olympic champion had already won gold in the team all-around, individual all-around and jump, in the French capital.

With a total of seven gold, two silver and two bronze medals at the Olympic Games, Biles is in second place on the all-time list of gymnasts, along with Vera Caslavska from Czechoslovakia.

She was widely expected to secure her fourth – and possibly fifth – gold medal in her final event of these Games on Day 10.

However, she had already proven that she was ultimately only mortal when she fell off the balance beam in the middle of her last exercise on the women’s balance beam. The winner of this discipline was the Italian Alice D’Amato.

A loud “Ohhh” rang out from thousands of fans in the packed Bercy Arena – including NFL legend Tom Brady – when she lost her balance and had to jump from the apparatus onto the mat.

Biles recovered and was able to finish her performance, earning a score of 13.100, which put her in a tie for fourth place with her U.S. teammate Sunisa Lee, but she slipped back one place toward the end of the final.

As she waited for her score, Biles rolled her eyes in apparent annoyance, knowing she would not end up on the podium.

Their total score was well below D’Amato’s winning score of 14.366. China’s Zhou Yaqin took silver and another Italian, Manila Esposito, took third.

D’Amato became Italy’s first Olympic champion in women’s gymnastics.

The most decorated gymnast in historyBiles won her seventh gold medal and her third in Paris with her victory in the gymnasts’ vault on Saturday.

If she was disappointed with her performance on the floor, she didn’t let it show: A smiling Biles hugged her US teammate Chiles and posed grinning with Chiles and Andrade – and their medals – after the awards ceremony on the floor.

But after the first competition, she certainly seemed dejected and was photographed afterwards standing on the sidelines frowning.

Monday’s setbacks aside, this was a triumphant return to the Olympics for Biles. She was one of the biggest stories in Tokyo three years ago when she was the favorite to win multiple gold medals but dropped out of most of her events.

She later admitted that she suffered from what are known as twisties, which cause gymnasts to lose the sense of where they are in the air.

After her decision to abandon her studies, she faced severe criticism and has since been working with a therapist in Paris.
