Simone Biles is not ruling out competing in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The most decorated gymnast in U.S. history has not made an announcement about retirement, yet her future in the sport remains the subject of debate among fans who suspect her best days as an athlete are behind her.
Biles, however, has not subscribed to that idea. During an event for the 2027 World Capital of Sport declaration in Buenos Aires, she wore an oversized brown suit while speaking in the Argentine capital about making plans to make an appearance at the Summer Games in three years.
“Everyone likes to talk about L.A. and what that road looks like for me,” she said. “So, currently, I am taking some time off from the gym because I think it’s really important that your physical health matches your mental health.”
Biles last competed in the Paris Olympics, where she took home three gold medals and one silver, bringing her career total to 11. She said taking a break to focus on her mental health was a major contributor to her success.
“The mental and the physical were right on par. They were right on track with each other, so I think that’s really, really important,” said the champion competitor. As for the next gantlet of Olympic events, Biles explained, “I just don’t know right now if it’s on the floor or in the stands,” Biles clarified. “But I definitely want to go and be a part of that movement.”

Spectators have just one question: Can she pull off gravity-defying stunts with her new physique? One person bearing her physical transformation in mind commented underneath the People magazine article about Biles’ 2028 plans, “How is she going to compete with those new ta ta’s ? They’ll be flipping and flopping all over the place.”
That individual also snapped, “No thanks, won’t watch her! Her time has come and gone!!” Someone else, seemingly lacking enthusiasm for Biles’ years-long winning streak added, “Yes, please, spare us!!”
The 4-foot-8 superstar athlete fueled breast augmentation rumors in July, when bikini photos revealed her more prominent bust. Her figure remained toned, but there was no turning a blind eye to the way her curves spilled out of the bathing suit top.
However, reactions to the images were a toss-up between pregnancy and plastic surgery speculation.
An Instagram follower stated, “My first thought was she’s pregnant! Come on ladies, we all know the girls grow first!” “Looks like someone got the girls enhanced,” wrote a second user.
The latter comment and Biles’ subsequent posts flaunting her amplified chest were the ultimate sign for retirement for some. One such believer remarked, “I told y’all my girl was retiring she got her a set of GIRLS.” Biles has neither confirmed or denied the speculation about her body.
