The GOAT Simone Biles Says Entering The 2028 Olympics Would Be "Greedy"
“I’m at a point in my career where I’m humble enough to know when to be done.”
In a new Sports Illustrated interview, seven-time gold medalist, Simone Biles, hints at retirement.
“Because I’ve accomplished so much,” she began, “there’s almost nothing left to do, rather than to just be snobby and to try again and for what? I’m at a point in my career where I’m humble enough to know when to be done.”
After dominating the 2024 Olympics in Paris (where she won 3 Gold metals), Biles reveals that entering the 2028 LA Olympics would be “greedy” — and her priorities may have shifted. “If you go back, you’ll be greedy. Those are the consequences.”
As for her partnership with Jonathan Owens, a family may be in their future. “But that’s also your decision to decide. 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’s really worth it?”
Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history, which is still hard to wrap her head around, she admitted. “I don’t think the reality has set in of what I’ve exactly done in the sport. I can see it, and I hear it from people, and I see a glimpse of it, but the full magnitude I don’t think I’ve realized just yet. I don’t think I’ll realize ’til maybe I retire and look back in a couple years like, Damn, she was good. Because I can see that, but I do it every day. So for me, it’s normal.”
