PARIS -- An unusually quiet arena may have played a factor in a shaky balance beam final for Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee and a handful of other event finalists Monday. Biles, Lee, Brazil's Julia Soares and Romania's Sabrina Maneca-Voinea all fell during their routines inside Bercy Arena, where no music was played and some fans hushed others for making noise while the athletes were up. Italy's Alice D'Amato barely wobbled, by comparison, on her way to gold.
