After spending a relaxing year enjoying her downtime in Belize, the British Virgin Islands, and Australia, multi-time Olympic gold medalist gymnast Simone Biles returned to Chicago to watch her partner, Jonathan Owens, play for the NFL’s Bears. She was seen on social media dining at a luxurious restaurant in the city, where she received a gift she wasn’t expecting.
Biles has won 11 Olympic medals, 30 World Championship honors, and global acclaim. After a quiet performance at Tokyo 2020, Biles returned to the Paris 2024 Games with a bang, claiming three golds and one silver, extending her record as the American gymnast with the most Olympic golds and becoming the second woman in history, after Vra slavsk, to win two Olympic vault titles.

Simone Biles’ success wasn’t built overnight. Starting gymnastics at just six years old, her journey is nothing short of inspiring. Success has often been her companion. However, Biles’ trajectory took an unexpected turn at Tokyo 2020. In an unprecedented move for an athlete of her caliber, Biles withdrew from several finals, citing mental health issues and “twisties,” a mental block that prevents gymnasts from orienting themselves in the air.

Will Simone Biles participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics?
Simone Biles’ participation in 2028 hangs in the balance. In a conversation with an audience in Buenos Aires, Argentina, she hinted at a possible return for the 2028 Los Angeles Games: “Everyone likes to talk about Los Angeles and what that road looks like for me. So right now, I’m taking some time off from the gym because I think it’s really important that your physical health matches your mental health,” Biles said.
I definitely want to go and be a part of that movement
She added, “That’s why you saw so much of my success in Paris, because the mental and the physical were on par. They were well aligned with each other, so I think that’s very, very important. I’m not sure what 2028 will look like, but I’ll be there in some way. I just don’t know right now if it’s on the floor or in the stands. But I definitely want to go and be a part of that movement,” she affirmed.
