The Olympic champion<\/a><\/a> made clear that while she still values fan interaction, she prefers it to happen outside her living space.<\/p>\n “I would love to take pics while I’m out & about though,” she added.<\/p>\n Biles is currently in Madrid for the annual sports awards ceremony<\/a>, where her presence has drawn widespread attention. The visibility reflects her continued global reach, extending well beyond professional competition.<\/p>\n Still, the situation highlights a familiar balance for high-profile athletes. Public appearances often bring large crowds, but the line between support and personal safety<\/a> can blur \u2014 especially during travel.<\/p>\n Simone Biles approached the moment by acknowledging both sides. While expressing appreciation for fans, she also set clear boundaries.<\/p>\n As her trip continues, her focus remains on supporting the week’s major international event.<\/p>\n The four-time Laureus Sportswoman of the Year plans to attend the ceremony\u00a0as an ambassador<\/a> and special guest, continuing her role as one of the world’s most recognizable athletes.<\/p>\n The post Simone Biles Asks for Privacy at Laureus World Sports Awards 2026 in Madrid<\/a> appeared first on Just Women's Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n
