Simone Biles missed out on her fourth medal of Paris 2024 – and her 11th Olympic medal overall – in the balance beam on Monday after she fell during her routine. The American, who had already won golds at these Games in the team, individual all-around and vault – finished in fifth place.
Meanwhile, Italy’s Alice D’Amato didn’t win the final so much as survive it. But a routine that avoided major errors turned out to be enough for the 21-year-old from Brescia to win an improbable Olympic title, her country’s first ever gold medal in artistic gymnastics, sharing the podium with teammate Manila Esposito, who earned bronze.
