- Simone Biles put her fifth place finish in Paris 2024 Olympic beam final down to a 'weird and awkward' atmosphere at Bercy Arena.

Biles fell off the beam during her routine and later explained that a lack of noise meant she could 'hear some of the Android ringtones going off, the photo clickers' before adding 'you're tying to stay in your zone, and then people start cheering and the shushing gets louder'. Biles stayed positive, however, adding that she was 'proud' of herself and saying 'I can't be mad at my performances. A couple of years ago I didn't think I'd be back here at an Olympic Games, so competing and then walking away with four medals, I'm not mad about it'

I'm Brazilian and I loved watching Rebeca and Simone compete. They are both incredible. I loved seeing how they two respect each other so much. ❤
People are picking apart every little thing she says. I think her response was appropriate. She acknowledged the other athletes and was proud of the things she did accomplish.
D g
How do y'all in the media sleep at night??? Why remove the questions that were asked to ensure her comments are taken out of context??? Why??? Why is everything in the media done to increase drama????
I know ESPN have done this as well. I thought in today's world we are meant to be the best versions of ourselves. Guess I'm wrong and there is still alot of slimeballs out there
Welcome to being white for the last four years 😂😂😂
@@owens5737 the only thing I hate more than the media, are people who make themselves out to be victims.
Also hate people who bring race into everything.
Blame the messenger!
The shhhh! Dear Parisians, we know you like it quiet at art events BUT there is a sport element to this and part of the sport includes teammates and fans shouting their encouragement and support. Please, no more shushing!
Some people are just not happy unless they are complaining about others. Simone said absolutely nothing wrong. There’s literally nothing to complain about here. Be well
That's your opinion.
Yes there is . Instead of staying off social media and focusing on her gymnastics, she was making nonsense political comment, making jabs about ' done and dusted ' issues , buying herself goat necklaces , crawling on the mats whn she was able to run just fine . Her goat necklace gift to herself was apparently a jab at her haters ? How pathetic that that's her focus instead of being happy she won medals ! And she's just given many more reasons fir the hate she gets. She is not humble
The goat necklace alone is reason enough for the hate
rebecca manages to just focus on gymnastics , post happy shots, and ... stay on the beam !
It's karma , due to Simones attitude lacking grace and humility
Last time was an exception .. what was it this time ?
She should have apologized to her country but she’s selfish and arrogant ❌🤡❌
@spoonifiyongrism so you have a problem with her social media usage? she's a 27 years old woman be so fvcking for real right now
@@divinecommerce3912this was an individual competition here, the group competition alr happened and team usa won gold
right there she was competing for herself not her country
I was thinking the same thing that it was so quiet in there and I’m used to having music along with their routines. (Including songs for their specific routines.) With so much quiet in the room it was nuts.
“Android ringers going off” 😂😂
Mote excuse mote excuse , just say it . Your can not do it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
. Maybe other olympians had practiced with these sounds and were used to it. Unfortunately for her she was used to noise and lost her focus and got to caught up in the environment.
3 golds , 1 silver 🏅🐐🥇. The comments can stay mad at the MOST DECORATED GYMNASTS
Romanian was robbed Ana Barbosu must be 3
I I a thinking the same thing way way was it so quiet normally they have music in the background . Hearing people shush other people when you are doing a routine acward
As with the rest of us, you are human. None of us are perfect. Still amazing.
Time to take off that self bought goat necklace
Nadia Comăneci ar spune că înainte de "a te identifica" :Campion Olimpic Mondial, trebuie să dovedești că ai la purtător CALITĂȚILE care să te recomande!...Calități pe care "noi ceilalți" nu le avem, motiv pentru care, candva, nu oricine "putea fi Campion"!..
i think Jordan wasn't really feeling what she was saying, lol the way she was looking to the other side.
The winner was not affected by that supposed weird atmosphere, that is why the winner is the winner (and a winner).
I wouldn't give details on what affected the routine... It's going to come across as an excuse
Very well spoken - actually I admire the way she talk better than anything
Talks.
Zici că -i politician, narcisist , arogant...mereu cu scuzele la purtător !..
Ok, so everyone here gets an opinion. They get to critique Simone’s performance as she is a public figure and is not only representing the USA, but is going on our dime.
Do not extrapolate from that that anyone hates anyone else.
Please people, calm down.
I'm glad she's ok!!!! Great attitude and response!!!!! 😁😁😁
These are pretexts. A gymnast and any athlete should be focus independently of the background sound (or silence).
Watching her felt like there was so much pressure on her. People are ready to hate as soon as she makes a mistake. 4 medals at the olympics and people will still pick her apart. LOSERS
Watch previous olympics where the real champions didn't fall or waver the entire. Competition ! Wait that's what Rebecca did this time in Paris ! Simone has a huge difficulty buffer , she therefore has LESS pressure than the others ( who are fighting every tenth for a minor medal )
She does not have the mental strength or grace or humility that a real goat has
@@spoonifiyongrism ah yes her bowing to her competitor is an example of her not being humble, when many of the other GOATS wouldn’t do that to their competition. And she came back this year, when many said she wouldn’t even be able to get back into the Olympics and won 3 gold and one silver. But you must know so much , but like Simone said about people like you, you’re nobody’s who just criticized from your couches and homes doing nothing or understanding anything an Olympian has to go through.
Having 4 medals and still being complaining about everything and being unhappy... that is being a loser.
I am proud for Simone she did her best as she could rebecca and simone the two are always comepete and yet have respect for another
Anyone know where the video is?
Sometimes saying , “ I just didn’t do well today “ is enough !
She did say that at 00:59 actually. Plus context is everything - without knowing what question was asked it can be easy to make up a story that the person answering had a bad attitude. If asked what she thinks contributed to the beam outcome, frankly she can't be faulted for her honest answer.
If you would watch the whole video you would hear that she said that at the 59 second mark 🙄
Guess you didn’t watch the whole video.
@@katiem82850Yeah, after making excuses as to why it wasn't her best day.
@@worthless_opinion I think your screen name is apt. Negative opinions formed without context are indeed worthless. They are just spewing negativity.
So many excuses... LOL. How about other gymnasts? Weren't they affected
Yeah same with Suni
You're still the GOAT ❤❤ congrats Simone! Class all day
I agree with her message, it's just the delivery that bothers me. She is amazing and has pushed herself physically for so many long years to get to where she is. As admirable as that is, now is the time to shift focus and get her mind into play so she can speak more maturely and sound more intellectual, and that "end of the day" cliche needs to be kicked out altogether. She needs to step up into a leader's role and stop sounding like a teen.
This is yalls goat 😂😂😂😂
Not everyone likes her!!
Don't worry , she wears a goat necklace around her neck , so she must be the goat 🤣
Exactly lol, can we all laugh at team America, Wario league with the exception of Maroney since 2012. I do feel this period will be looked back on with extreme suspicion, for doping and collusion with judges, worse than Russia and China.
Yep
Choked!!!
Goats don't make petty excuses, sorry. Just stay humble and say you messed up. Every contestant competed under the same "atmosphere."
Yeah, but 6/8 contestants made huge errors, most falling off. It’s not an excuse if it happens to everyone, it’s a pattern
@@mraxolotldoesstuff Really? Didn't know that.
@@worthless_opinionwell, so next time know before you critique.
Biles, Lee, Brazil’s Julia Soares and Romania’s Sabrina Maneca-Voinea fell, but the winner D'Amato didn't even wobble.
Biles made mistakes on the floor final as well (perhaps due to her calf) and only received silver.
@@milaalaniva775 actually, d’amato made a few wobbles between the connections of dance moves and after a flip. Also, the Italians may be used the awkward environment, unlike the other contestants.
Not bad 3 gold’s and I silver that’s alright to me
HAI ROMANIA !!!
Your still a winner 🏆 in ❤
Don't forget Simone Biles is a quitter.
🤔
Pity not to congratulate Alice and give her credit by name for performing brilliantly in the 'weird atmosphere' and 'odd beam finsl'.
Credit to Simone as well though...the pressure is awful on her & everything she says gets picked apart.
Pity I can't find the medal ceremony or Alice's interview anywhere...
What country are you watching from?
NBC I think has a video of Alice’s performance. This also isn’t the full interview, and she already did acknowledge the medalists
Why does she specifically need to say the italians name? Does she owe her? Stop picking apart the smallest things
D'Amato had zero issues competing. Interesting how there has to be explanations how others couldn't perform.
@@milaalaniva775 Interesting how no one said there was an Issue with D'Amato competing or her routine, or her Gold.
It sure didn't affect the winner of the competition who received the Gold medal.. stop whining Simone you have enough medals
She’s just saying she didn’t perform well because it was weird and different, she quite literally said she wasn’t upset and was very proud of herself.
@@N08R76H all I can say is the biggest stage for a Gold Medal in her life and she says the crowd environment was weird that's just so bizarre. the other gold winners didn't say that. that's all I can say
It’s called an interview. She was asked a question. She answered.
Stop whining about her supposed “whining”.
@@jamies3205 let's call it like it is she wasn't focused and said the crowd bothered her I'd say it was whining about losing. Guaranteed you haven't heard the last of it from her
@@JSBowling2011 Except she has already won gold numerous and supportive of other girls and from other countries too.
Maybe she forgot to take her full dose of RITALIN
Always an excuse... Lame
I am so tired of these annoying divas like Biles and Serena Williams. Just baloney so many athletes and they are just boring over saturate the coverage just sick of it
I used to think she was full of class and humility. As time goes on, you see who she really is.
I used to think America was full of decent, caring human beings until Simone had a mental break in 2020 and couldn’t perform. The buzzards swooped in to tear her apart. As time goes on, I saw who the people in this country really are.
Who is she really?
@@SonderDAzeX On second thought I can't say who she really, really is. I've never met her or spent anytime around her. But at least in terms of her public appearances she now comes off vain, immature, grating, and petty.
I saw it early on , small things like when after 2016 , many from team retired , and she had just had the first competition with the 'new girls ' she posted that she missed the old girls ?
That must've been so hurtful to the new girls , who would've looked up to her .
Then came the goat in crystals on her leotard( at that stage she had only won 4 olympic medals , Shannon had 7 ! ) and I was in disbelief at the egotistical move .
So she had a mental breakdown, feel pity for her , not the praise and adulation she got like she she just won 4 more medals !
She’s the greatest of all time without a doubt but her attitude is off-putting
Yes, she just lost out and is having to do a press conference with people constantly asking questions and having everything she says picked apart. I don't know what you expect her to say that would satisfy you.
Poor her, all those millions of dollars and fans. It’s just an observation, calm down.
I've noticed that too. I think it may be related to her ADHD and the fact that she takes Ritalin. Sometimes, it can seem insincere and even aggressive, which is a shame because I believe she is a wonderful athlete!
@@halfbackmutt exactly. She’s probably sick of the hate after what the media did to her in 2020. I don’t blame her one bit. Like she said, people pick her apart and meanwhile they’re sitting at home and can’t even do a cartwheel.
Her attitude? What attitude?
Yep, go ahead and blame others.
Who did she blame, a person called silence?
@@halfbackmuttThe sound of silence.
Wario Simone.
Poor sport
Take the loss like a champ
She should retire….
She’s at the top of her game, she won 3 gold and one silver medal.
@@N08R76Hno one cares
@@N08R76H how many ballon d'or does she have?
She is, She's stated before this is her last Olympics and will relax.
@@N08R76H She is retiring tho.
Excuses excuses
Only Android?? iPhone users weren't a problem?? Confused!
She was just giving an example
“I like waffles”
“So you hate pancakes?” Type of comment fr
Fantastic
Excuses, the fact is she is over scored, Judges are Byast but this time they could not over score that rubbish performance
She did say that she just didn't perform at her best at 00:59 actually. Plus context is everything - without knowing what question was asked it can be easy to make up a story that the person answering had a bad attitude. If asked what she thinks contributed to the beam outcome, frankly she can't be faulted for her honest answer.
@@katiem82850 exactly. Go Simone!
Very few have been in her shoes. She is human and not perfect. I think she gave an honest, candid answer.
@markgladwell8927
Right.
Just say that it was a poor performance; don't try to rationalize it with "weird and awkward" atmosphere.
@@maggiechan33You clearly didn’t watch the final. 5 out of the 8 Gymnasts fell on the beam. And then another girl almost fell. And in the same arena on the same day the men’s high bar also had most of the athletes fall. There was clearly something weird going on with either the equipment or the atmosphere.
The real goats like MJ probably dont even realize there is crowd noise lol. Different level mentally in my opinion
A Musician with a sound stage vs an Athlete doing a routine on an apparatus.
@@SonderDAzeX He meant Michael Jordan not Jackson....
Mature, elegant wonderful Simone !!! yes , !!!! The silence was awkward !!!!!
She is really unsuccess.
Bet you her team gold , individual gold medal, vault gold medal plus her silver on floor she isn't.
Just how?
Simone got robbed on the beam.
Hooww?? She fell off!
She didn’t perform her best, her place was deserved
/She Fell off Beam bro, Did you even watch? She didnt even Medal on Beam, Numerous girls made mistakes, the most consistent ones ranked. The girl from China ranked tho, fumbled too, but her difficulty level made up for it.
She fell goofy
Hmm, not so cocky today eh
