Simone Biles remains undecided about the 2028 Olympics, but the lure of competing in LA is very real
Biles says she is weighing a comeback for Los Angeles 2028, with family plans and reproductive health among the factors, while 36 million Americans have inflammatory skin conditions.
- On Tuesday, 29-year-old gymnastics icon Simone Biles remains undecided about competing at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, telling The Associated Press, "I don't know what the decision I should make, but I don't necessarily have to make it just yet."
- Balancing personal life, Biles cited her marriage to Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens and the potential impact of training on her reproductive health as major factors influencing her decision.
- "I feel really, really comfortable with what I've done in the sport," Biles said, while teammate Joscelyn Roberson, now competing at Georgia, recently reminded her, "Remember, you don't have to come back."
- Olympic teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey are already pointing toward Los Angeles, prompting Biles to joke that some competitors would be "just fine" if her sabbatical became official retirement.
- Outside the gym, Biles continues advocacy work, partnering with the "Skin to Believe In" campaign to support roughly 36 million Americans living with inflammatory skin conditions while weighing her athletic future.
