Paris: US gymnastics star Simone Biles slipped off the balance beam and finished out of the medals on the unforgiving apparatus on Monday, ending her bid for a record five golds at the Paris Olympics.
Chiles finished her routine with a 13.666 but an inquiry was opened into her score.
Italy's Alice D'Amato took gold on the balance as Simone Biles came in fifth in the ranking after falling.
She won her 11th Olympic medal and seventh gold, leaving her within striking range of Soviet legend Larisa Latynina’s nine golds, the most of any gymnast.
