The slip up may have cost her the gold, but the 19-year-old Olympic athlete still managed to score high enough to bring home the bronze for USA.A gold medal, which would have been Biles's fourth of the Rio games, would have brought her one step closer to an historic achievement: Biles would have been on track to earn the title of most gold medals by a female gymnast at a single games. After receiving the bronze, it seemed like all media could focus on was that Biles would have to "settle" for less than stellar at the games.Here's a quick look at headlines that started rolling in after Biles's slight Monday:Though awareof her mistake, Biles isn't taking the loss to heart.

(But, remember, this is Phelps we're talking about.) The most gold medals won at a single games by a female belongs to Kristin Otto, playing for East Germany, who won six gold medals in swimming in 1988.So who's to say four isn't just as great'Biles is a young Olympian who canpull off a flawless floor routine, soaring high into the sky without making it look too difficult.It's okay, Biles.
