‘Stop shushing’ – Simone Biles fumes at crowd and judges after being denied attempt for historic fifth Olympic gold medal

With three gold medals already in the bag, Simone Biles had eyes on a first ever five gold medal haul at the Olympics.

But after dramatically slipping off the balance beam she was left unhappy with the crowd and judges.

Biles has already won team, individual and vault gold medals, and lined up in both the beam and floor finals on Tuesday – but there was disappointment for the 27-year-old.

Taking to the floor as the penultimate athlete of the competition, Biles started impressively in a typically difficult routine.

But as she slid off in the latter part of her performance, commentators proclaimed ‘she is human after all.’

However the drama was not over as after she climbed back onto the beam to complete the routine, she was seen furious with the crowd for their attempts to keep everyone quiet.

‘Stop shushing, why are they shushing’ she appeared to say as she waited for the scores to come in.

Her unhappiness continued as the judges took an age to deliver her score with Biles appearing to say ‘what are they waiting for?’

Eventually he scores came in and of was only good enough for fourth place, with Brazil’s Rebecca Andrade still to perform.

In the end Italy’s Alice D’Amato performed brilliantly to claim gold, with her teammate Manila Esposito in bronze.

China’s Zhou Yaqin, who had performed first, took silver having led for much of the competition before D’Amato;s spectacular display.

Biles will return to arena later in the day among the contenders for the gold medal in the floor final – an even she won in Rio 2016.

And a spectacular routine is expected as she targets an eighth gold medal of her sensational career.

A medal of any color will give her an 11th Olympic medal, but after a disappointing start to the day she will be out to bounce back in style – just has she has through the games following her dramatic exit in Tokyo three years ago.
