Simone Biles Drops Major Hint About Competing at the 2028 Olympics
@Source: newsweek.com
Decorated gymnast Simone Biles was but just a few moments removed from sharing the podium with Brazil's Rebecca Andrade and USA teammate Jordan Chiles after they placed second, first and third, respectively, in the floor routine at the 2024 Paris Olympics (Chiles has since been stripped of her medal due to a scoring error) before she was asked whether or not she'd compete in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.Biles was noncommittal then, and she's seemingly still noncommittal now regarding her intentions for the next summer Olympics, though it seems the door is at least still open for now.She won gold in three events in Paris — the team, all-around, and vault events — and she took home silver in the floor exercise, bringing her Olympic medal total to 11, including seven golds.Fans have made it clear they want to see Biles compete one final time on the Olympic stage, and she seemed somewhat open to the idea while speaking at the Ready25 Conference in Sydney, Australia on Thursday."I haven't decided yet; I'm still taking time off mentally and physically before I decide anything," Biles said, via realestate.com. "Never say never because you truly don't know, but I'm taking time off to reset mentally and physically and emotionally because training for an Olympic Games ... it's not just the year before, it's the four years prior."WNBA News: WNBA Punishes Fever's Sophie Cunningham Over Paige Bueckers CommentsIf Biles did compete in Los Angeles, it wouldn't just be a goodbye tour.The 28-year-old is tied for the second-most Olympic medals among female gymnasts with Czechoslovakia's Vera Caslavska, and she's just two golds away from tying Russia's Larisa Latynina for the most all time (nine), meaning if Biles competed in 2028, she would have a chance to make history.Though she's seemingly got nothing left to prove—her 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals make her the most-decorated gymnast of all-time—Biles did admit that she will be involved in the 2028 Olympics in some way."We have to take everything into consideration before I make a final decision because it is a lot of dedication and sacrifices and teamwork because it's not just me involved," Biles added."If I'm not on the floor, I definitely will be in and around it, and you guys will see me in L.A., but to what capacity I'm not sure. But I'd love to be involved as much as possible."WNBA News: Angel Reese Sends Message to Sky Fans After First Game in 3 Weeks
