Will Simone Biles compete at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles?
Biles has acknowledged she is getting older but hasn't definitively ruled out competing in 2028 at age 31, which would make her the second-oldest American female gymnast in Olympic history after Marie Margaret Hoesly, who represented the U.S. in 1952.
After withdrawing from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to the "twisties," in Paris Biles provided the perfect comeback.
She secured her third gold medal, winning the vault final with an average score of 15.3, bringing her total Olympic medal count to 10, the most for a gymnast.
At 27, she proved her continued dominance by doing the Yurchenko double pike, known as the most difficult vault ever performed by a female gymnast.
She joined elite company by becoming the only woman to win two vault titles and the first American to win more than once in the Olympic all-around final.
