floor exercise

Biles earned gold on the floor exercise at the Rio Olympics, and was expected to defend that title—she qualified second before pulling out.

USA Gymnastics announced the news in a statement on July 31, adding that Biles will continue to be evaluated to determine if she will compete in the women’s floor exercise and balance beam finals.

Johnson accepted this gift and took to the floor exercise, and it was the last time she would see the Soviet gymnasts in competition.

Biles has four skills named after her on the vault, floor and beam, including the daring triple-twisting double back flip on floor exercise.

At the last world championships, she earned the bronze on the uneven bars and the silver on the floor exercise.
