Artistic Gymnastics
Will Simone participate in her fourth Games?
Crypto.com Arena, Downtown Los Angeles
The biggest question in gymnastics: is Simone Bilesthe most decorated gymnast in history with 7 Olympic medals (including 4 gold), is participating in her fourth Olympic Games?
Biles left the door open, saying “I don’t know what 2028 looks like, but I’ll be there in some capacity. I just don’t know right now if it’s on the floor or in the stands.”
What Biles said
“I’m really enjoying my time off before deciding if I want to get back in the gym and compete. A lot of people think it’s just a one-year commitment, but it’s actually the four years leading up to the Olympics.”
At 27 in Paris, she became the oldest Olympic all-around winner in 72 years. She would be 31 in Los Angeles, and no American gymnast has ever competed in more than three Games.
