Simone Biles Reflects on Olympic Career, Hints at Possible Retirement

The decorated gymnast, named Sports Illustrated's 2024 Sportsperson of the Year, questions the sacrifices required for a potential return in 2028.

Simone Biles, after winning three gold medals and one silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has suggested she may not compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Games, calling it 'greedy' to return.
Biles cited her extensive achievements, including 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals, as reasons she feels there is little left to prove in the sport.
The gymnast emphasized the personal sacrifices another Olympic run would entail, particularly as she considers starting a family with her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens.
Biles' journey back to elite competition after mental health struggles in Tokyo 2021 has been widely celebrated, with her comeback solidifying her status as one of the greatest athletes of all time.
While she has not definitively ruled out competing in 2028, Biles expressed a desire to focus on her personal life and other pursuits, leaving her future in gymnastics uncertain.
