    Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade has the entire Olympic world wondering what happened in the balance beam final on Monday, even United States star Simone Biles.

    Andrade finished a flawless routine, with many fans believing she would be fighting for the gold medal, or at the very least, secure a spot at the podium.

    Despite having the No. 2 execution score of the top eight participants, Andrade ended the balance beam final in fourth place, behind Alice D'Amato, Zhou Yaqin, and Manila Esposito.

    Andrade earned a final score of 13.933, with an execution score of 8.233 and a difficulty score of 5.700. The gold medal winner, Italy's Alice D'Amato, had a final score of 14.366, with an execution score of 8.566 and a difficulty score of 5.800.

    As the Brazilian star was taking a breather after her performance, Biles was seen chatting with Andrade, seemingly shocked at the final scorecard.

    Biles embraced Andrade, and the two shared a short conversation. Rebecca Andrade's shrug to Biles demonstrated the consensus reaction to her final score.

    Despite Biles and Andrade's absence from the podium for the balance beam finals, both Olympic stars have been putting on a show at the Paris Games.

    Biles secured a gold medal in the Women's Artistic Individual All-Around, Women's Artistic Team All-Around, and Women's Vault·Artistic gymnastics and a silver medal in Women's Floor·Artistic gymnastics.

    Andrade earned a gold medal in Women's Floor·Artistic gymnastics, a silver medal in Women's Artistic Individual All-Around, another silver medal in Women's Vault·Artistic gymnastics, and a bronze medal in Women's Artistic Team All-Around.
