Simone Biles suffered a shocking defeat in the floor exercise final at the Paris Olympics after two errors allowed Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade to snatch an unexpected gold medal.Their podium finish went viral after Biles and Chiles heaped praise on Andrade and bowed to their new "queen".
Andrade claimed the top prize for producing a near flawless, albeit less difficult, routine which was rewarded with a 14.166 from the judges. "So I can't be mad at my performances. A couple years ago I didn't think I would be back here at an Olympic Games so, competing and then walking away with four medals."Biles had already won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics for her performances in the team and vault events, as well as winning the all-round title for the second time.
