News summary

Simone Biles expressed frustration over the crowd's 'shushing' during the Olympic balance beam final, which she felt created an awkward atmosphere and negatively impacted her performance. After falling during her routine, Biles finished in fifth place, missing out on a medal despite having qualified second. She noted that gymnasts generally perform better in noisy environments, as it mimics practice conditions, and the unusual silence alongside the shushing was off-putting. Biles and her teammates had previously requested background music to alleviate the tension, which was not provided. Despite the disappointing outcome on the beam, Biles secured a silver medal on the floor and remains proud of her overall performance at the Olympics.
