Biles makes “weird and awkward” Paris 2024 complaint about Android phones

The 27-year-old American closed out her time at Paris 2024 with four medals, but she complained about the strange circumstances during her final event.

Simone Biles complained about the atmosphere at the balance beam as she won silver in her final event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, saying the silence was “weird”, despite having requested music “several times”.

“The most stressful apparatus is always the balance beam. It was really weird and awkward. We’ve asked several times if we can have some music or some background noise. I’m not really sure what happened there, but, yeah, not our favorite. None of us liked it”, she told AP.

Another notable moment on day 10 of the Games came at Bercy Arena, where Rebeca Andrade, Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles completed an all-Black podium for the first time in Olympic gymnastics history.

Brazil's Andrade took gold in the women's individual floor exercise, with Team USA pair Biles and Chiles in second and third, respectively.
