Brandon’s Isabela Onyshko finished off the podium after a slip up during her routine in the women’s beam final at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio Monday afternoon.

The 18-year-old wobbled on her first series and then slipped off the beam after attempting a back handspring tuck, finishing with a score of 13.400, good for eighth place.

Three-time medalist in Rio de Janeiro, American Simone Biles, had a slip of her own during her routine, but managed to stay on the bar. After finishing first in the qualified with a score well north of 15, Biles was only able to manage a third-place showing with a score of 14.733.
