Simone Biles will leave the Paris Olympics with four gymnastics medals after claiming silver on floor.

The United States finished the gymnastics meet of the 2024 Olympics in a strong fashion with Simone Biles winning silver and Jordan Chiles taking home the bronze in the women's floor exercise final Monday after an inquiry shook up the final standings.

Biles scored 14.133 to capture her 11th Olympic medal, further cementing her position as the greatest American gymnast of all time. This was the first time she lost a world or Olympic floor title, but still was able to take home the silver after stepping out of the competition area during her routine.

Chiles won the bronze after a successful inquiry into her score moved her from fifth to third with a final score of 13.766 (from 13.666). Chiles went last in the competition so the shift in the standings happened at the end and led to a heart-stopping conclusion.

Jordan Chiles found out that she won the first individual Olympic medal of her career, a bronze on floor, after a last-second inquiry with the judges bumped up her final score.

A large number of fans gave Biles a standing ovation waving American flags after she performed. Biles came off the mat smiling. But it was the moment Chiles won the bronze at the end of the competition after the inquiry that cause the crowd to erupt in cheers.

This was Chiles' first individual Olympic medal and Biles immediately went over to hug her.

Brazil's Rebeca Andrade finished in first and took home the floor final gold with a score of 14.166. Andrade has been a force to be reckoned with this Games taking home four medals in Paris (gold in the floor, silver in the all-around and vault, and bronze in the team event with Brazil).

The start of Simone's routine was performed to Taylor Swift's "...Ready For It?" That song has been an anthem to these games with the song being the basis for a video by NBC Sports highlighting the Games in which Simone asked "are you guys ready for it?" She also included samplings of Beyonce in her floor routine.

Biles, 27, becomes the 11th American to win 11 medals. She's now the second U.S. gymnast to win more than one medal on floor after winning the gold medal in Rio in 2016 (Aly Raisman won gold in 2012 and silver in 2016).

She was unable to medal earlier in the day in the balance beam final.

Biles hasn't said definitively if 2024 was the last Olympics for her or if she'll return for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

"Never say never," she said earlier in the Paris Games. But Biles also said she was "getting really old." She'll be 31 at the time of the Los Angeles Olympics.

Chiles also teased an upcoming "announcement" Tuesday about her future leaving some guessing she'll return to her former team at UCLA.
