Simone Biles rode yet another redemptive arc at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Monday morning, bouncing back from a shocking fall and a missed podium on the balance beam and returning two hours later to capture silver in the meet-closing floor exercise finals.

The 27-year-old Texan flew high and smiled broadly on the way to scoring 14.133 on the floor, taking second place after her gold medal at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil's Rebeca Andrade took gold with a 14.166 and Biles' U.S. teammate Jordan Chiles earned bronze with a 13.700 after a scoring inquiry.

Biles began with a 6.9-point difficulty compared to her rival's 5.9, but Andrade made up the gap with an 8.266 execution score while Biles earned a 7.833 and lost six-tenths with the two fouls.
