Simone Biles remains undecided about the 2028 Olympics, but the lure of competing in LA is very real
Biles says she is weighing a comeback for Los Angeles 2028, with family plans and reproductive health among the factors, while 36 million Americans have inflammatory skin conditions.
On Tuesday, 29-year-old gymnastics icon Simone Biles told The Associated Press she remains undecided about competing at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, saying she does not yet have to make a final decision.
Biles is prioritizing her marriage to Indianapolis Colts safety Jonathan Owens and weighing reproductive health concerns; family planning and the physical toll of training heavily influence her decision-making process.
"I feel really, really comfortable with what I've done in the sport," Biles said, while teammate Joscelyn Roberson reminded her: "Remember, you don't have to come back."
Olympic teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey are already targeting Los Angeles, prompting Biles to joke that some competitors would be "just fine" if her sabbatical turned permanent.
Beyond gymnastics, Biles partnered with the "Skin to Believe In" campaign to support roughly 36 million Americans living with inflammatory skin conditions, demonstrating her broader advocacy influence.
