SIMONE Biles was left furious after a dramatic beam final where she was one of eight gymnasts to fall.
The 27-year-old seemingly complained about the atmosphere inside the Bercy Arena on a day where she proved she’s human after all.
Biles won bronze in the event in Tokyo[/caption]Biles was heard on the television feed saying something to the crowd.
“Stop shushing, why are they shushing,” the US gymnast appeared to say.
Biles followed US teammate Suni Lee and two others to slip off the beam on Monday.
During Lee’s routine, the six-time Olympic medalist fell after a trio of backflips.
After jumping back up and finishing her routine, Biles was quick to cheer her teammate up on the side, telling her, “It was so good though!”
Later, Biles too fell from the beam during her routine after losing her balance.
Clearly frustrated, she remounted the beam and finished her routine beautifully before quickly leaving the floor.
Both Americans scored 13.100 for their routines, leaving them outside of the medal positions.
Biles had previously won bronze in Tokyo and in Rio de Janeiro on the balance beam.
Lee was the 2022 NCAA National Championship gold medalist in the event.
This marked USA’s first failure to finish on the podium at a women’s balance beam final in an Olympic Games since 2000.
Italy’s Alice D’Amato went on to win gold in Paris, with China’s Yaqin Zhou in second, and Italian Manila Esposita in third.
D’Amato’s win was a historic moment for Italy, becoming the first woman to win an Olympic gold in gymnastics.
Victory in the event would’ve been Biles’ fourth gold of the Paris Olympics.
She won gold in the team all-round and individual all-round last week.
Simone Biles' first coach Aimee Boorman exclusively told The U.S. Sun that she thinks Biles will be spurred by a new role this year.
“Having younger teammates benefits her because she has stepped in as the mother hen figure,” said Aimee.
“And so she has to tell them to stay calm. You’ve got this. You’re prepared. And so as she’s saying it, she’s also hearing it.
“You always have tiny kids that come into the gym, but they’re never ripped like Simone was,” she said.
“I know she was very self-conscious about it growing up. But from a coaching perspective, it was great.
“I didn’t think that Simone would be a multi gold medal athlete straight away.
“But she did stand out because she was very tiny, but very muscular.”
And on Saturday Biles added gold in the vault to make it three in Paris.
