Simone Biles Updates Potential 2028 Olympics Return, Says Decision Needs to Be Made 'Quickly'

After another outstanding run at the Paris Olympics in 2024, fans wondered whether United States star gymnast Simone Biles would return to competition.

Speaking to CNN at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid , Biles said she still hasn't made a decision about competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

"I feel like we're still at a 50-50 and that we're still on a time crunch here now it's almost half of 2026," Biles said. "We're going to have to make these decisions pretty quickly."

The 29-year-old said it has less to do with how she feels physically and more to do with how she feels mentally.

"Mental health plays a big role in it because, physically, my coaches will get me in shape," she said. "I can get myself in shape. We believe in that ability. We're really thankful that I'm still healthy. Mental is a huge thing and it's a lot of dedication on that because the road's not easy. It's long, but it's still work."

Biles has won seven gold medals and 11 total medals at the Olympics. She won gold in all-around, vault and team in 2024, along with a silver in floor exercise in Paris.

She has nothing left to prove at this point, but getting to compete in her home country could be the perfect way to close out her career.
