Simone Biles remains undecided about the 2028 Olympics, but the lure of competing in LA is very real
On Tuesday, 29-year-old gymnastics icon Simone Biles told The Associated Press she remains undecided about competing at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, saying she doesn't yet have to make a final decision.
Currently on a break from elite competition, Biles is prioritizing her marriage to Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens and weighing how training might affect her reproductive health and family planning.
Teammate Joscelyn Roberson, a former World Champions Centre competitor now at Georgia, recently reminded Biles, "Remember, you don't have to come back," while Biles emphasized, "I feel really, really comfortable with what I've done in the sport."
Meanwhile, Olympic teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey are already targeting Los Angeles, prompting Biles to joke those competitors would be "just fine" if her sabbatical turned into permanent retirement.
Beyond competition, Biles partnered with the "Skin to Believe In" campaign to encourage the roughly 36 million Americans living with inflammatory skin conditions to seek dermatological care.
