Italy's Alice D'Amato won balance beam gold as a fall doomed US gymnastics great Simone Biles's bid for a fourth title at the Paris Olympics on Monday, reported AFP.
Biles, who led the US women to team gold before claiming the all-around and vault titles, was among several finalists to fall off the unforgiving apparatus, but she still has a chance at a fourth gold in the floor exercise final later Monday.
D'Amato delivered a solid routine for a score of 14.366 points to take gold ahead of China's Zhou Yaqin and Italy's Manila Esposito. |BGNES
