Olympian Simone Biles eliminated from 'Dancing With the Stars'

Simone Biles will not have a coveted Mirrorball trophy to add to her pile of four Olympic golds.

The individual all-around Olympics gymnastics champion and her professional dance partner, Sasha Farber, were eliminated from the "Dancing With the Stars" semifinals Monday night in a stunner.

This, despite earning a perfect 40 score on their jive:

"I thought they were going to pull a Steve Harvey on us," Biles said of the elimination shocker, referring to the incident where Harvey accidentally announced the wrong winner of the Miss Universe pageant in 2015.

Considered one of the best gymnasts of all time, Biles was a favorite to win Season 24 "Dancing With the Stars" title just a season after her Rio Olympics teammate Laurie Hernandez won the Mirrorball trophy.

NFL running back Rashad Jennings, retired Chicago Cub David Ross and Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei will dance in the finals next week.
