Bercy Arena was so quiet you could hear a gymnast drop on Monday during the balance beam finals at the Paris Olympics .

Four gymnasts, including Americans Simone Biles and Suni Lee , fell off the beam and the lack of music and a hushed crowd may have played a part, The Associated Press reported .

It was really weird and awkward, Biles said, according to AP. Weve asked several times if we can have some music or some background noise. Im not really sure what happened there, but, yeah, not our favorite. None of us liked it.

I think it was the crowd but also just knowing that were so close to being done and just adding that extra stress of wanting to end it off the right way, Lee added.

Lee jokingly said she worried whether the photographers could hear her breathe. It adds to the stress, just because its like, you, yes, youre the only one up there. So I was feeling the pressure.

Background music often plays, but the absence of it was part of the sport presentation plan at Paris 2024, a spokesperson for the International Gymnastics Federation told the news service.

Both Biles and Lee fell , dropping them out of out of medal contention, while Italys Alice DAmato took gold.
