Don’t expect Simone Biles at the 2028 Olympics. In a new interview with Sports illustratedWhen she was named Female Athlete of the Year, Biles said it would be “greedy” to return to the Los Angeles Olympics for another run.
“Having accomplished so much, there’s almost nothing left to do but be snobbish and try again, and for what?” she told the publication. “I’m at a point in my career where I’m humble enough to know when to be ready.”

“If you go back, you will be greedy. Those are the consequences,” Biles added. ‘But that’s your decision too. What sacrifices would be made if I go back now? When you’re younger, it’s like prom, college. Now it’s like starting a family, being away from my husband. What is it really worth?”
Biles continued speaking the Tonight Toon about weighing her options in September, shortly after returning from the Paris Games. “Everyone wants to know this question. I’m like, ‘Can’t I live?’” Biles told Fallon, laughing. “First of all, I’m getting older. 27 is a bit old for a gymnast.”
Biles is the first woman in U.S. Olympic gymnastics to win two all-around gold medals since Vera Čáslavská in 1968. The victory added to her collection as the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast in history with nine medals. And at 27 years old, she is also the oldest woman to win the all-around title since 1952.
Speak with SIthe gymnast said she was still coming to terms with her true impact on the sport. “I can see it, and I hear it from people, and I see glimpses of it, but I don’t think I’ve realized the full extent of it yet,” Biles said. “I don’t think I’ll realize it until maybe I retire and look back in a few years and think, Damn, she was good. Because I see that, but I do it every day. So for me it’s normal.”
