Biles had much to be happy about. Three gold medals were won by the Team USA gymnast in the women’s artistic individual all-around, women’s vault, and women’s team all-around events, which included Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera, and Jordan Chiles. After missing out on the beam final, she also won a silver medal in the floor exercise.
Earlier this month, Biles stated at a press conference, “Beam final is always the most stressful.” “Generally, there is music or background noise of some kind, and to be honest, we perform better in noisy environments because it feels most like practice. You tried to stay in your zone because you could hear some of the Android ringtones going off and the photo flickering today, whatever that was.” In regards to the future, Biles—who is currently the most decorated American gymnast in history—played coy when asked if she intended to compete in the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.
Is this the last one I do? “Definitely [my final] Yurchenko double pike,” she remarked about her vault performance at a press conference. “Well, that one was kind of a hit.”
Biles stated that she’s not completely ruling out a comeback. She declared, “The next Olympics are right here in Los Angeles.” Thus, you can never be sure. However, I am aging quite rapidly.” Following her response, Biles used social media to criticize others who had questioned her about her future plans. She wrote via X earlier this month, “You guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics.” “Let’s savor this moment that we have dedicated our entire lives to.”
