STORYLINE:
American gymnast Simone Biles didn’t get the golden sendoff she sought.
Biles earned silver in the floor exercise finals on Monday — her fourth medal in Paris and 11th Olympic medal overall — after a routine that included a couple of costly steps out of bounds.
Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade became the first gymnast to beat Biles in a floor final in a major international competition, posting a score of 14.166 that finished just ahead of Biles at 14.133.
Jordan Chiles, a longtime friend and teammate of Biles, earned the bronze.
The 27-year-old Biles, considered the greatest in the history of the sport, wasn’t at her usual best during a routine set to music from pop icons Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
She’s going home with gold medals from the team, all-around and vault finals and a silver that came as a surprise in her signature event.
Elsewhere Viktor Axelsen was crowded an Olympic badminton champion once again.
The 30-year-old from Denmark defended his men’s singles title by beating Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand for the gold medal.
