Simone Biles recently clinched another gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in the individual all–around, becoming the only American woman to win this event twice. However, the 27-year-old will be absent from the uneven bars final.
The reason for her absence is simple: Biles did not qualify for the uneven bars final. She finished 9th in the qualification round, with only the top 8 competitors advancing to the final.
Biles dominated the qualifications in other events, securing the top score in both the vault and floor exercise, and the second-best score on the balance beam. While she missed out on the uneven bars, she will still compete for more gold medals.
