Simone Biles endured a miserable day at the Olympics on Monday after failing to add to her gold medal tally and criticizing the gymnastics fans in Paris.
The 27-year-old American star could only manage a silver medal on the floor, having injured her leg in the warm up.
Biles also surprisingly finished fifth in the balance beam on her final day of competition after falling off the apparatus in front of a shocked crowd that included NFL legend Tom Brady.
Biles, who had already won team, all-around and vault gold medals in the French capital, was heavily fancied to add to her tally.
She failed to do so on the beam but many expected her to win gold in the floor – one of her strongest disciplines.
.
But as she warmed up, Biles slipped after landing and appeared to worsen a calf injury that has plagued her throughout the Olympics.
She has been struggling with a calf injury ever since the qualifiers for the women’s team final last week.
It had yet to affect her in competition until Monday, however, when the American was left grimacing and needing Team USA medical staff to strap her leg up.
Biles managed to smile for the TV cameras before competing but also appeared to be limping as she tried to walk off the injury.
Biles managed to post a score of 14.133, which wasn’t enough to dislodge rival Rebeca Andrade of Brazil – who took gold with 14.166. American Jordan Chiles took the bronze after her score was upgraded following an appeal.
The silver medal means Biles 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.
