Simone Biles Jokes About Finally Taking 'Much Needed Nap' After 2024 Olympics

Winning four medals and competing in five different events in nine days at the 2024 Olympics is going to exhaust even the best athletes.

In a post on X, Simone Biles said that she "just woke up from a much needed nap" on Tuesday.

Biles finished off her historic run in Paris on Monday with a silver medal in the floor exercise. The second-place finish gave her three individual medals. She also won gold with the United States in the team all-around.

Leading up to the Paris Games, Biles called these Olympics a redemption tour for the Americans. The U.S. women won six medals in Tokyo, but the two golds were its fewest in an Olympics since 2008.

Team USA won three gold medals in Paris, with Biles winning the individual all-around and vault. Suni Lee won three medals and Jordan Chiles won two.

Biles' 11 career Olympic medals make her the most decorated American gymnast of all-time. She is tied with Věra Čáslavská of Czechoslovakia for the second-most medals by a female gymnast.

Even though Biles is getting a well-deserved rest right now, she has already been asked about potentially competing at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

"Never say never," Biles told reporters on Saturday. "Next Olympics are at home. So you just never know. I am getting really old."

Biles will be 31 years old at the time of the next Summer Olympics. At 27 years old for these Games, she became the oldest woman to win gold in any gymnastics event since Polina Astakhova of the Soviet Union in 1964.

Oksana Chusovitina of Uzbekistan is the oldest female gymnast to qualify for the Olympics. She was 46 when she competed at the Tokyo Games three years ago.

Whatever Biles decides to do with her future, she will almost certainly be great at it. For now, though, she can get as much sleep as she wants because all that's left for her to do in Paris is take part in the closing ceremony on Sunday at Stade de France.
