    The fall from the beam left her tied for fifth with teammate Suni Lee, NBC News reported. Italy’s Alice D’Amato won gold in that competition, according to the Olympics .

    CNN said Biles had a fall in warm-ups and had pain in her left calf like she did last week. She performed on the beam with her calf taped.

    The floor routine issues, however, did not stop her from bringing home another medal, this time a silver.
