Beam Surprise, but Biles Medals Again
2 of 4
If you didn't set an alarm for artistic gymnastics this morning, you missed a pretty shocking result in the beam final.
USA stars Simone Biles and Suni Lee both fell during their routines, and Brazil's Rebeca Andrade finished narrowly shy of the podium. Instead, the beam medals went to Italy's Alice D'Amato, China's Zhou Yaqin and Italy's Manila Esposito, respectively.
That surprise led to redemption, though.
Andrade earned gold in the floor final with Biles securing a silver and USA teammate Jordan Chiles a bronze.
Biles wrapped up the Paris Games with a gold in team and individual all-around competitions, along with a gold in vault and this silver in floor. Suni Lee (two), Jade Carey and Chiles are each headed home with an individual bronze medal and team gold, as well.
USA 3x3 Falls, Responds for Bronze
3 of 4
While the United States is thriving in the 5x5 competitions, the same unfortunately cannot be said in the 3x3 events.
The men's sideโwhich included former BYU star Jimmer Fredetteโbowed out in pool play. Then on Monday, the women's team officially saw its gold-medal defense end with a semifinal loss to Spain.
Unfortunately for the U.S. squad, it struggled to contain Spain's long-range prowess and committed too many fouls. The latter issue proved most impactful as Spain won 18-16 in overtime, hitting a free throwโone of six FTs in the gameโto seal the victory.
However, the Americans aren't going home empty-handed.
In the bronze medal game, they defeated Canada 16-13 behind a team-high six points from Hailey Van Lith.

Allman is the third back-to-back and fourth two-time Olympic champion in women's discuss history. However, she's now the first American woman to win a pair of Olympic golds.
Allman's medal brought the United States within one of China's lead for total gold medals in Paris as Day 10 nears its end.
