Simone Biles Is ‘Absolutely Not’ Done With Gymnastics, Hints at 2028 Summer Olympics

Simone Biles appeared to conclude her illustrious Olympic career at the 2024 Paris Games. And she solidified her status as one of the sport’s all-time greats. At 27, she became the first woman to compete in three Olympic Games for the U.S. gymnastics team. Biles earned four medals: three golds and one silver. She clinched gold in the team all-around, individual all-around, and vault, and secured silver in the floor exercise final. While many of her fans assumed the 2024 games would be her last, she’s not counting herself out for the 2028 Olympics just yet. Here’s how she’s hinting at a possible comeback.

Simone Biles hinted at a possible 2028 Olympics comeback

Simone Biles’ gymnastics journey to Paris was marked by a remarkable comeback after stepping back from competition following the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Her return was fueled by a desire to compete for herself and to inspire others, especially in advocating for mental health awareness. In Paris, she not only showcased her athletic prowess but also her emotional depth, reflecting on her journey and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to compete on the world’s biggest stage.

While many fans expect Biles to bow out of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, she’s not quite sure she’s done. Olympics.com asked Biles if she missed her time competing.

“It’s only been a year,” she answered. “I feel like if you ask me in a year, I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I miss that!'”

Biles doesn’t necessarily miss the gymnastics grind just yet. But, she noted that she’s the one who will decide when she’s finished competing for good.

“I want it to be my choice when I’m done,” she said. “I don’t want the doctors to be like, ‘Hey, you can’t move on.’ I’m grateful that if this (Paris) was the end, that I got to choose my ending.”

Biles noted that she’s “absolutely not” done with gymnastics completely. As for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, she commented, “There’s more to it … we’ll definitely see.”
