Biles added a silver medal to her collection after missing the podium in the balance beam event. She concluded her Paris journey with four medals, three of which were gold, marking her return to competitive gymnastics after dealing with the twisties during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Barbosu and fellow Romanian gymnast Sabrina Maneca-Voinea fell out of medal contention. Initially celebrating her podium finish, Barbosu was left in shock upon learning Chiles had secured the bronze.
Barbosu appeared heartbroken.
