Simone Biles Hints at Future Olympic Games Participation
Simone Biles has not dismissed the possibility of competing at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, signaling a potential return to the sport’s highest stage. The seven-time Olympic medalist shared her thoughts while attending a conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 9, 2025.
Biles’s continued consideration of the LA 2028 Games is significant given her widely publicized struggles with ”the twisties” at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, wich prompted her to prioritize her mental health and withdraw from several events. A return would not only mark another chapter in her decorated career but also further normalize conversations surrounding athlete well-being. The decision, when it comes, will impact the landscape of artistic gymnastics and inspire countless athletes navigating similar challenges.
Speaking at the conference, Biles reflected on the evolving perception of mental health in athletics. “For so many years, mental health has been a voodoo topic,” she stated. “And it has been deemed as a weakness, when really we should switch the conversation up and think of it as brave and strong, much rather than weakness or shame or guilt that you have to hold.”
beyond discussing her potential competitive future,Biles is also conducting a gymnastics clinic in Buenos Aires,offering guidance to emerging young gymnasts. This outreach underscores her commitment to fostering the next generation of talent and promoting a healthier environment within the sport.
