Suni Lee experienced a moment of difficulty during the women's gymnastics apparatus final on Monday when she slipped off the balance beam. Despite a valiant effort to recover, a replay revealed that Lee had leaned too far to one side, causing her to slip and fall onto the beam before landing on the mat. Her final score for the routine was 13.100.

However, Lee's performance in the Olympics has been nothing short of remarkable. Prior to this incident, she had already secured a gold medal in the team final and bronze medals in both the all-around and uneven bars events. With a total of six Olympic medals to her name, Lee has proven herself as a formidable competitor on the world stage.

Looking ahead, all eyes are now on Simone Biles as she prepares to compete in the apparatus finals, scheduled to take place seventh in the lineup. Biles, a highly decorated gymnast in her own right, is sure to bring her signature skill and artistry to the competition.
