Biles takes silver as Andrade Wins Floor Gold



Simone Biles missed out on a fourth gold medal of the Paris Olympics after some messy landings left her with silver on floor, as Rebeca Andrade shone to take the title.

The 27-year-old American - who won team, all-around and vault gold - landed with both feet outside the floor area twice, costing her 0.300 apiece, and scored 14.133 to sit 0.033 behind Andrade.

American Jordan Chiles won bronze with 13.766.

Biles, whose difficulty level was a full mark higher than the Brazilian's, paid the price for her errors as Andrade executed her lively routine almost flawlessly.

Biles, who has now won 11 Olympic medals, had earlier fallen off the beam to finish fifth.
