Simone Biles, the American gymnastics legend, is gearing up for her final performance in Paris with a fresh wrapping of tape on her leg. A fall during her warm-up routine seemed to have impacted her, raising concerns about her performance in the upcoming floor exercise. This event presents an opportunity for Biles to secure her fourth gold medal in Paris and add to her impressive tally of eight Olympic career golds.
Biles appeared to be nursing some discomfort following the warm-up fall, with reports indicating that she had been experiencing pain in her left calf since a similar incident last week. This recent setback has exacerbated an injury she had been managing in the lead-up to the Paris competition.
Prior to Biles' performance, Alice D’Amato, who had clinched the gold in the balance beam earlier in the day, took to the floor. D’Amato scored a 13.600, securing the third position, while Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu followed closely behind with a score of 13.700, placing her in second position.
