Biles continued to make history during the final gymnastics event for the Paris Olympics.
PARIS, France — In the final event of her comeback campaign in Paris, Simone Biles stunned audiences with her stellar floor exercise.
Biles added an 11th medal to her Olympic career in Monday’s floor finals with another silver. Her epic medal performance came within hours of slipping off the apparatus in the balance beam event final.
Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade won gold in the floor exercise by .033.
With a uniform change and a fresh mindset, Biles clinched her fourth medal in Paris.
There was plenty of history on the line for Biles in what could have been the last competition of her Olympic career.
The 27-year-old Olympian is now tied with Czechoslovakia’s Vera Caslavska for the second-most medals by a female gymnast in Olympic history, trailing only former Soviet Union great Larisa Latynina’s 18.
Her fellow teammate Jordan Chiles also performed a fan-favorite routine set to Beyonce tunes. She also earned a spot on the medal stand, alongside Biles and Andrade.
Chiles won a bronze medal after a last-minute score change.
