Biles previously hinted she’s getting too tired of competing at such a high standard. And her participation in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles is in doubt
As she continues to display her extraordinary talent in the French Olympic Games of 2024, Simone Biles solidifies her place in history as the greatest gymnast of all time. The American star has already won more medals to her already outstanding collection, bringing her total Olympic medal count to seven gold, one silver, and two bronze.
There is growing conjecture over whether Biles will compete in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles while the world watches in awe. The gymnast, who is 27 years old, has made passing references to retiring, but her most recent remarks are unclear.
In an August 3 media event, Biles hinted at the possibility of making an appearance at the 2020 Summer Olympics. She acknowledged the attraction of competing in the United States on home soil, saying, “Never say never.” She continued, “Honestly,” after that. She smiled and said, “But I really don’t know because I am getting really old.”
She has been incredible so far
Simone Biles’ legacy is assured, regardless of her decision about her gymnastics career. The gymnast, who had mental health issues prior to her unannounced retirement from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, has recovered magnificently.
Following a two-year break to concentrate on her physical and mental well-being, Biles triumphantly returned, aiming for the 2024 Olympics. At the age of 27, she seems to be at the peak of her career, demonstrating her unrivaled brilliance and tenacity.
Biles’s closest rival, Rebeca Andrade of Brazil, remarked, “Simone is from another world, but we always try to get better and evolve in the best way possible.” “Everyone is inspired by her amazing gymnastics.”
Whether or not Biles competes in the 2028 Olympics, she will surely exit the sport with her head held high, having left an enduring impression on the annals of gymnastics history.
