Simone Biles Shares Health Update in Photo, 'Almost Dying Wasn't On My Bingo Card'

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles revealed Saturday that she had a serious health scare this week, though she didn't go into detail on what occurred.

Biles, 29, is an 11-time Olympic medalist (seven golds) and one of the greatest gymnasts in the history of the sport. She won four medals at the 2024 Paris Games (three golds) in what was possibly her final Olympic appearance.

"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," she told CNN.com's Amanda Davies in late April while discussing the possibility of competing at the 2028 Games. "We're going to have to make these decisions pretty quickly."

Biles has said that whether she was willing to go through the mental grind of preparing for another Olympics would likely play the biggest part in her decision.

"Mental health plays a big role in it because, physically, my coaches will get me in shape," she told Davies. "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."

The physical ability is still clearly intact:

It remains to be seen if this week's health issue will play a role in her ultimate decision about participating in the 2028 Los Angeles Games. More important, of course, is that Biles is recovering and resting after the health scare.
