Simone Biles claimed her 11th Olympic medal in what might be her final Olympic appearance, but a couple of errors cost her the chance of a gold medal in the floor exercise.
The 27-year-old appeared headed for an eighth Olympic gold medal as she landed a sky-high triple-twisting double back somersault to kick off her routine.
But she stepped out twice in subsequent landings, earning a 0.6-point deduction, leaving her in silver medal spot behind the elegant, energetic Brazilian Rebeca Andrade, who captured the gold.
