Simone Biles leaves her 2028 Olympic plans open as the opportunity to compete on home soil looms
With 11 Olympic medals (7 gold) to her name, Biles is the most decorated American gymnast of all time
The legendary gymnastics career of Simone Biles continues to captivate the sports world as the legendary champion navigates a brand-new chapter in her personal and professional life.
Currently residing temporarily in Indianapolis following a one-year contract signing by her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens , with the Indianapolis Colts , Biles remains the undisputed GOAT of her sport.
With an unprecedented resume featuring 11 Olympic medals , including 7 golds, alongside a staggering 30 World Championship medals , her legacy is already firmly cemented in history.
Yet, as the athletic world looks ahead, the ultimate question remains whether the 29-year-old icon will lace up her grips and make an unthinkable run toward a fourth Olympic appearance at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games .

The constant speculation surrounding a potential comeback is not just a media narrative; it is something that actively occupies the superstar's mind, occasionally waking her up in the middle of the night as she deliberates her competitive future.
In a candid interview with The Associated Press , Biles admitted that while she does not need to rush her final choice, her internal compass is slowly leaning in a specific direction.
The allure of competing on home soil in Los Angeles during the summer of 2028 is a powerful magnet, especially with several of her former Olympic teammates, including Suni Lee , Jordan Chiles , and Jade Carey , already targeting the historic home Games.
Biles even joked about the changing landscape of longevity in elite gymnastics, noting how former UCLA standout Katelyn Ohashi returned to elite competition this summer after a staggering 13-year hiatus.
"I know athletes are going a lot longer, and I’m just like, what the hell? It’s going to be like a big reunion if I did," Biles shared. "It would be so much fun. But I still have to weigh the options."
Balancing that temptation requires confronting the brutal physical and mental realities of the sport. By the time the Olympic flame is lit at the opening ceremony across iconic Southern California venues in July 2028 , Biles will be 31 years old , a remarkably mature age for an elite gymnast.
Having spent the past two years enjoying life away from elite competition since her historic Paris campaign, where she became just the third woman to win multiple all-around gold medals , Biles remains at peace with whatever path she chooses, proving her legendary status in gymnastics is already fully secured.
