Biles’s five gold bid ends as Wevers takes beam title

She landed awkwardly while completing a front somersault and grabbed the beam with both hands to avoid falling down. Silver went to Biles’ U.S. teammate Laurie Hernandez.

Biles will get another shot at gold on Tuesday in the floor exercise final.

Douglas, 20, has sparkled as part of the winning all-star USA women’s team in Rio – but social media attacks have been so vicious they have ruined her Olympic adventure, Douglas’ mother told Reuters.

The Olympic gymnasts were back at it Sunday afternoon after a two-day break, and tiny Simone Biles – the seemingly unflappable 4-8 dynamo who already clinched all-around and team gold medals – proved her superiority once again.

And in the cruel, perfection-chasing world of gymnastics, that was that for Biles quest to become the first gymnast to ever capture five gold medals in a single Olympics. The balance beam is arguably the most precarious of gymnastics events, and even the most skilled gymnasts can be undone by nerves and see small errors snowball into huge deductions.

To be on point each time is a grind, perhaps particularly when the hoopla of being Simone Biles overtakes you. She and her coaches attempted an inquiry on Laurie’s score because they thought she deserved higher, but it was rejected.

The American athlete is so far three for three in the Games, having topped the team and individual all-round, as well as the vault. She has executed every routine flawlessly and continues to make headlines and produce trending YouTube videos.

Biles’ Amanar earned her a 15.900 for good reason.

In third was Flavia Saraiva, the 16-year-old Brazilian gymnast that has enchanted crowds with her charisma and powerful tumbling.

At just 19 years old, Biles has many accomplishments and we expect great things from her in the future.

Dipa Karmakar of India was the other gymnast who did the Produnova, and she finished fourth.
