Biles stepped out of bounds twice during her floor routine to take silver after earlier falling off the balance beam. US teammate Jordan Chiles took bronze.
The 27-year-old Biles’s acrobatic floor routine to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Ready for It” included two of the skills named after her. But a 0.6-point deduction proved costly as she scored 14.133, narrowly behind Andrade’s gold-winning score of 14.166.
