Simone Biles concluded her participation in the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning a silver medal in the floor exercise final with a score of 14.133, bringing her total to 11 Olympic medals. Biles, who had earlier stumbled on the balance beam and finished fifth, delivered a strong floor routine but was penalized for stepping out of bounds twice. Brazil's Rebeca Andrade won the gold medal in the floor exercise, making her the most decorated Brazilian Olympian of all time. American gymnast Jordan Chiles secured the bronze medal after a score inquiry increased her final score to 13.766. This was Chiles' first individual Olympic medal. Biles hinted that she might compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, despite previously suggesting that Paris would be her final Games.
