Many are wondering if Simone Biles' last Olympic Games will be the 2024 Paris Olympics. Some speculated that Biles would retire after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, particularly after her "twisties" incident forced her to withdraw from multiple events at that event. And so she did, taking a break from gymnastics for several years before making a comeback for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Here's whether Biles has said anything about retiring after the 2024 Paris Olympics, and whether she has her sights set on the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

SIMONE BILES SHOCKS WITH EMOTIONAL CONFESSION AFTER SECOND GOLD IN PARIS 2024

Simone Biles isn't sure if the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris will be her last and she hasn't ruled out representing the United States at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

In a May 2024 interview with AP, Biles indicated that she is not saying "yes or no" when it comes to her future with the sport. "I would never say never," she said, "and I think it would be great to do [this] after every Olympic cycle. I think that would be beautiful." However, she has "no definitive answers" because she doesn't know "what life is going to look like in the next few years."

Biles would be 31 in 2028 if she were to attempt to compete at the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. By the 2024 Olympics in Paris, she could become the oldest American woman to win a medal in gymnastics at the Olympics since 1948 and break other records for her age by winning multiple gold medals in Paris.
