Simone Biles Hasn't Ruled Out LA 2028 Olympics
Simone Biles has not officially decided against competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics
While speaking in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she was honored by the city's mayor, Jorge Macri, the GOAT of gymnastics spoke about the possibilities of competing in another Olympic Games.
"Everyone likes to talk about L.A. and what that road looks like for me," Biles said. "So, currently, I am taking some time off from the gym because I think it's really important that your physical health matches your mental health."
"That’s why you saw so much of my success in Paris, because the mental and the physical were right on par," Biles explained. "They were right on track with each other, so I think that’s really, really important.”
Although she’s "not sure what 2028 looks like" for her as a competitor, she plans to be at the Los Angeles Games "in some capacity."
Taking to social media, Biles thanked the people of Argentina for their hospitality during the country’s celebration of being designated the 2027 World Capital of Sport.
"Going home with a full heart 🤍 Thank you Argentina for a warm welcome to your country, I truly felt like family during my visit," she wrote, adding, "thanks for sharing all of the malbecs, empanadas, mate & dulce de leche with me!! see you later!
"I just don’t know right now if it’s on the floor or in the stands," Biles stated. "But I definitely want to go and be a part of that movement,” she said.
In her remarkable career, Biles is the most decorated American gymnast and the most decorated gymnast in World Championship history (male or female). She has a total of 41 Olympic and World Championship medals, 11 Olympic medals (seven gold, two silver, two bronze) and 30 World Championship medals (23 gold), with multiple world titles in the all-around, floor exercise, and balance beam.
