Biles, Chiles bow down to Andrade

Andrade made history by becoming first gymnast to beat Biles in a floor final in a major international competition.

The Brazilian’s win comes after her winning silver in the all-around and vault, and bronze in the team event with Brazil.

Biles settled for silver, while her teammate Chiles took home bronze.

During the medal ceremony, both Biles and Chiles did the unthinkable while standing  on their respective podiums

They bowed down to Andrade.

Andrade is “queen”

Biles, who is now the most decorated American Olympic gymnast of all time, hailed Andrade’s performance.

Also, the 27-year-old said she was proud to see an all-Black podium in the floor final.

“She’s so amazing. She’s queen,” Biles said.

“And first it was an all-Black podium, so that was super exciting for us. But then Jordan was like, ‘Should we bow to her?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely.’ So we’re like, ‘Are we gonna do it now?’ And then, that’s why we did it.”

Chiles also agreed with Biles’ sentiments.

“Why don’t we give [Andrade] her flowers?” Chiles added.

“Not only has she given Simone her flowers, but a lot of us in the United States our flowers as well. Giving it back is what makes it so beautiful.”
