Simone Biles once talked about the heavy toll her body had taken during the Paris Olympics. In a conversation with the portal eonline.com, the 27-year-old gymnast had mentioned,
“I went back to the village, took the elevator and my body literally collapsed. I was sick for 10 days. The other day, we were sprinting in the garden with friends. I had aches and pains for three days."
Biles also mentioned that due to her health, she was not sure about her availability for the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. In her words,
“A lot of people think it’s just a one-year commitment, but it truly is the four years leading up to the Olympics. If I’m going to compete again, I’m not so sure. I’m really trying to enjoy life, spend time with my husband [and] go support him at his games, and live my life as a woman."
Simone Biles had previously moved into her new home in Chicago with her husband, Jonathan Owens. The Olympic champion gymnast had previously made appearances at the MET Gala and the Kentucky Derby, respectively.
