\"download\"<\/a>Monday was a rough day for the United States. The Americans were denied a gold medal Monday for the first time since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.<\/p>\n

One of the slips cost U.S. gymnastics star Simone Biles gold on the balance beam. Biles lost her high power status after a blunder on the balance beam prevented her from a record-tying fourth gold in gymnastics at these games. Biles\u2019 blunder allowed Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands to take the gold and Laurie Hernandez of the U.S. to slip past Biles for the silver.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of years ago I told my coach I\u2019m too nervous! I can\u2019t stand on the beam! Now, to be at the Olympics and to be able to have my own silver medal individually, I think that\u2019s amazing ,\u201d said Laurie Hernandez.<\/p>\n

Tonight, Biles will go for gold medal number four again in the final women\u2019s gymnastics competition: floor exercise.<\/p>\n

The second slip came from sprinter Allyson Felix, who was just .07 seconds behind Shaunae Miller in the women\u2019s 400 meters. The U.S. star missed out on her fifth Olympic gold medal. Miller, of the Bahamas, got ahead thanks to a head-first dive that came after a downpour forced a delay in the evening events and sent spectators scurrying for shelter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bittersweet because it didn\u2019t come the way I would\u2019ve hoped, but I\u2019ve just go to pick up the pieces,\u201d said Felix.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball teams have been taking on all competition with force and vengeance. The women have taken a backseat to no one, outscoring their competition by a combined 204 points in five games. They are to face Japan this afternoon, and are favored to win by 38.5 points in this game. The American men, who haven\u2019t not won with such great leads, are taking on Argentina tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
