\nSimone Biles is extremely happy with her bronze medal. The superstar gymnast earned a bronze medal Tuesday in the balance beam competition to close out her Olympic competitions. After about a week of absolute chaos and withdrawing from events, Biles finished on a high note. How does she feel? She\u2019s very pumped. \u201cIt means more than all the golds because I\u2019ve pushed through so much the last five years and the last week while I\u2019ve even been here. It was very emotional, and I\u2019m just proud of myself and just all of these girls, as well,\u201d Biles said Tuesday during an interview on \u201cTODAY.\u201d I know that Biles has become an easy target for a lot of people online, but I\u2019m damn proud of the fact she finished the games by earning a medal. She could have easily just hopped on a plane and gone home at the first sign of trouble. I think most people expected that to happen when she started missing events. Instead, she fought back and earned another medal. It\u2019s not hard to understand why she views the bronze as such a great accomplishment and more important than the gold medals that came during a time of relative peace. Props to Biles for pushing through and not giving up!<\/p>\n
