Olympics fans hailed Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles on Monday after the American duo bowed down to Rebeca Andrade after the Brazilian won gold in the floor in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrade became the first gymnast to beat the all-conquering Biles in a floor final in a major international competition, posting a score of 14.166 that finished just ahead of Biles at 14.133.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biles earned silver in the floor exercise finals on Monday \u2013 her fourth medal in Paris and 11th Olympic medal overall \u2013 after a routine that included a couple of costly steps out of bounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Chiles, a longtime friend and teammate of Biles, earned the bronze and they decided to honor Andrade on the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Brazilian raised her arms up to celebrate her victory, Biles and Chiles both got down on one knee and bowed down to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olympics fans hailed Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles for bowing to Brazil\u2019s Rebeca Andrade<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about their decision to do it, Biles revealed Chiles asked: \u2018Should we bow to her?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biles replied: \u2018Absolutely. It was just the right thing to do.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gesture sent social media ablaze as one fan described it as \u2018the true spirit of the Olympics.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another wrote: \u2018Beautiful. It\u2019s great to see Rebeca Andrade get her props!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third posted: \u2018Respect! This is what makes sports so beautiful. Congrats\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Humility of Biles who would have wanted a gold after the previous event disappointment is admirable. Congrats to Rebeca,\u2019 commented another fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018A picture sufficient enough to tell about the true spirit of the Olympics,\u2019 added another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 27-year-old Biles, considered the greatest in the history of the sport, wasn\u2019t at her usual best during a routine set to music from Taylor Swift and Beyonce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s going home with gold medals from the team, all-around and vault finals and a silver that came as a surprise in her signature event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazilians thrilled as Biles upstaged by Andrade in floor final<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Olympics<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Olympics fans were quick to praise both Biles and Chiles for the touching gesture in Paris<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I can\u2019t be more proud of how I\u2019ve done,\u2019 Biles said. \u2018I\u2019m 27 years old walking away from this Games with four medals to add to my collection. Not mad about it.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biles\u2019 overall medal total (including seven gold, two silver, two bronze) ties Czechoslovakia\u00b4s Vera Caslavska for the second-most by a female gymnast in Olympic history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She missed a chance to add a fifth Paris medal earlier Monday when she fell during the beam final, finishing fifth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though she can make it look easy at times, it is not. She thudded to the mat during her floor warm-up and had the balky left calf she tweaked in qualifying last week re-wrapped before she competed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chiles \u2013 the last competitor of the day \u2013 initially received a 13.666 from judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some delay, her total was boosted by 0.1 when she filed an inquiry about the difficulty component of her score. That pushed Chiles past Romanians Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea and into third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trio held hands as they celebrated their success on the final day of gymnastics in Paris<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Biles<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Biles fell over as she warmed up for her floor routine, seemingly aggravating a calf problem<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Earlier<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Earlier on, Biles had to step off the beam after becoming unbalanced during her routine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biles\u2019 floor silver came about an hour after a beam final in which half of the eight women in the field found themselves hopping off in the middle of their routine after losing their balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biles included. She lost her balance at the end of her acro series and received a score of 13.100 to wind up fifth, tied with teammate Sunisa Lee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Biles, Lee saw her hopes for gold end in the middle of her routine when she fell during the same part of her routine as Biles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterward, the two Olympic champions and longtime friends who have a staggering 17 Olympic medals between them commiserated over the weird vibe inside an oddly silent arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It adds to the stress, just because it\u2019s like you, yes, you\u2019re the only one up there,\u2019 said Lee, who will take some time off before making any decision about her future. \u2018So I was feeling the pressure.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice D\u00b4Amato of Italy took the gold on beam with a score of 14.366. Zhou Yaqin of China earned silver with a 14.100, just ahead of bronze medalist Manila Esposito of Italy.<\/p>\n
