Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles Win Silver, Bronze Medals in Women's Floor at Olympics

Joseph ZuckerAug 5, 2024

Simone Biles closed out the 2024 Summer Olympics with a silver in the women's floor exercise.

The star gymnast posted a score of 14.133 to earn her fourth medal of the Paris Games. That brings her career total to 11 overall. Brazil's Rebeca Andrade came out on top to win her second Olympic gold. Jordan Chiles rounded out the podium.

Women's Floor Exercise Medal Results

Gold: Rebeca Andrade (Brazil), 14.166

Silver: Simone Biles (United States), 14.133

Bronze: Jordan Chiles (United States), 13.766


Biles had to mentally regroup after a slip in the balance beam relegated her to fifth place in the event earlier in the day. The floor exercise provided an opportunity to end the Paris Games on a high.

The 27-year-old posted the highest score in qualifying by some distance and also had the best performance on the floor during the team and individual all-around competitions.

While Biles didn't have one mistake that proved costly, but multiple minors deductions combined to put her just below Andrade.

Chiles, who was the last gymnast to perform, gave the United States one more shot to add to its medal haul.

It initially looked like the 23-year-old was shut out of a podium spot. The judges gave her a 13.666 score, which put her fourth and below Romania's Ana Barbosu. However, the U.S. submitted an inquiry that resulted in her getting bumped up to 13.766 and ahead of Barbosu.

Biles hasn't ruled out competing for a place on Team USA at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, though she joked she's "getting really old." This was in all likelihood her last Olympic go-round.

Assuming that's the case, Biles went out on top despite failing to collect another gold Monday.
