Brady was in the crowd as Simone did her thing. She came up with a Biles II triple-double and a Biles I double layout with a half-twist. With 7 golds under her belt and bronze in Rio and Tokyo, Simone Biles aimed to become the first three-time Olympic medalist in that event. But, it looks like her fate was not on the same page.
She received an execution score of 7.833 on her finals. It was her few out-of-bound steps that led to a deduction of 0.6 points, as she ended with a silver medal in her hand. Well, Biles suffered from calf pain during her warm-up in the morning, and that’s why she lost by a small margin. Although she didn’t win the gold, Biles’ overall performance left Brady and the spectators in awe.
