Biles’ run at history ends with bronze in beam finals (Yahoo Sports)
Simone Biles’ run at Olympic history hit a roadblock on Monday when a mistake on balance beam kept the American gymnastics star from a record-tying fourth gold in Rio. While it was still good enough for bronze behind gold medalist Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands and silver medalist Laurie Hernandez of the U.S., it also means Biles’ bid to become the first woman to win five golds in a single Olympics is over. Already a three-time gold medalist (all-around, team and vault) when she walked onto the floor on Monday, Biles was a favorite on beam as the reigning world champion.
