Simone Biles Shares Her Biggest Concerns About the Demands of Gymnastics Leading Up to LA2028

When Simone Biles won her first world championship back in 2013, her agent asked her a game-changing question: what did she really want to achieve in gymnastics? Sure, Olympic gold medals were on her mind, but one of her biggest dreams was to tour the U.S. Fast forward a decade, and that dream is now a reality!

Biles is now on the Gold Over America Tour, or as she likes to call it, “GOAT.” She’s hitting up 30 cities but now she is in Los Angeles to connect with the fans who have cheered her on, especially after her amazing performances at the Paris Olympics this summer. With 11 Olympic medals, Simone Biles has earned her title as the most decorated gymnast in history. But what’s next for her?

Following her showing at the Paris Olympics and winning four medals—three golds in Team events and All Around, as well as Vault and a silver in Floor—fans are left to ponder if she will participate in the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It seems like a no-brainer that she’d be a top contender for LA 28! However, she recently revealed a big secret about her future plans.

In a recent YouTube video shared by Young Hollywood titled “Simone Biles on LA28, Tattoos, and Where She Keeps Her Medals,” host Lesley Robins posed a question that’s on everyone’s mind: “We’re in LA, which is coming up at 2028, so people are probably asking you all about that. Are you coming back in four years?”

Simone Biles revealed, “I mean, it’s such a tough question. It’s like I can never get a break; it’s we won at the Olympics, and then it’s like it’s living in the moment, taking in everything day by day, and just doing the celebration tour with the cast and the audience.” She implied that there’s always pressure and expectations surrounding her performance and future plans, especially after her success at the Olympics.
Biles’ health has been in the spotlight even since she withdrew from several events at the Tokyo Games after experiencing the “Twisties,” a condition involving the temporary loss of spatial awareness experienced by some gymnasts when completing high-difficulty elements. After her showing at the Paris Olympics back in August and receiving accolades for her performance, Biles hinted at the possibility of participating in the 2028 Olympics, in Los Angeles by saying “Never say never” during an interview with USA Today.

By that time in 2028, she would be 31 years old, which would make her the oldest all-around Olympic gymnastics champion in 72 years. While contemplating her future beyond gymnastics, Biles emphasized that she is not hastily making any decisions regarding her involvement in the 2028 Games. She understands the challenges of competing on such a grand stage in the Tokyo Olympics.

Simone Biles’s Olympic journey against all odds.

Throughout the Tokyo Olympics event, Simone Biles underwent a journey that highlighted her mental fortitude. While encountering challenges during her time in Japan, she managed to reclaim her position at the pinnacle of gymnastics. Coming into the Games, everyone expected her to dominate; however, the team finally witnessed a twist when her performance on the vault fell short with one and a half turns instead of the anticipated two and a half—an occurrence that left spectators in awe.

Her expression showed uncertainty as she took the decision to step aside and informed her teammates that they would have to complete the task without her assistance. The Team USA secured a silver medal; however, Biles’s unexpected withdrawal in the middle of the event drew all attention towards her.

The next day after team competition, Simone Biles stated she would not compete in the all-around final or the vault and uneven bars medal apparatus, not because of any physical ailment, but for other issues that usually cannot be classified as injuries—this she said in a press conference at the time. She said of the “Twisties” where a maneuver seemed to be out of this world for her to make it look graceful.

During the time period when she was actively competing for the victory she said ‘I didn’t want to jinx it for the team a medal because of my mistake’. The following year Biles asked herself some time off before she came back in style to win bronze in balance beam final. Together there she was able to be awarded the seventh Olympic medal. Before this event, she had consulted a lot with team physician Dr Maureen Faustin.While attending this event, she suffered a lower back spasm which forced her be treated by team physician Dr. Marcia Faustin. With this, Biles did what Biles always does—she just showed everyone how truly special she really is.
