Simone Biles’s third and perhaps last Olympic Games came to an end on Monday afternoon with the floor exercise final, where she was pipped by Brazilian rival Rebeca Andrade for the gold by 0.033 points.
The 27-year-old, the most decorated women’s gymnast ever and the oldest American woman to make an Olympic gymnastics team since the 1950s, added a fourth medal at these Paris Games after previous golds in the team event, the all-around and the vault. She has now won 11 medals in an extraordinary Olympic career spanning eight years.
