Simone Biles opened up about her pending decision about the 2028 LA Games participation, stating she would now step back from competing unless something truly inspires her. She further stated that she wanted to enjoy her life with her husband and was still unclear about competing, citing the wear down of physical health.

“I’m really trying to enjoy life, to spend time with my husband, go support him at his games, live my life as a woman,” she said, via nbcnews.com. “I’ve accomplished so much in my sport. For me to come back, it would really have to excite me.

“Whether on the apparatus or in the stands, I still don’t know that, but 2028 seems so far away, and my body is aging. I felt it in Paris.”

Biles won the 2025 Laureus Sportswoman of the Year Award for her incredible performance at the 2024 Paris Games.
