Incredible: Simone Biles Says It Would Be ‘Greedy’ To Return For LA Olympics In 2028.‘I’m At A Point In My Career Where I’m Humble Enough To Know When To Be Done,’ …

The eyes of the world were on Simone Biles again. Three years after the “twisties” of Tokyo, the greatest gymnast of all time returned to continue her remarkable Olympics story

.

Except, Biles does not just continue: the American creates and innovates, pushing the boundaries of her sport to new limits. The 27-year-old’s return to the Olympics was not just spectacular but groundbreaking, landing two of her signature skills. It was on the vault – the apparatus that led to her dramatic withdrawal from individual events in Tokyo – where Biles unleashed the Biles II, becoming the first woman to land the Yurchenko double-pike at the Olympics.

However, Biles has hinted she may not return for the Olympics in 2028, which will take place in LA. The sportswoman said it would have to be about “life and death” for her to come back to the competition.

“Because I’ve accomplished so much, there’s almost nothing left to do, rather than to just be snobby and to try again and for what?” she told Sports Illustrated..

“I’m at a point in my career where I’m humble enough to know when to be done.

“If you go back, you’ll be greedy. Those are the consequences. But that’s also your decision to decide.”

The sports star married her partner and American football player Jonathan Owens in April 2023, and said her role as wife could impact the decision as her priorities shift.

Although she still has a couple of years to decide, Biles admitted she doesn’t know the answer, as she confessed the full impact of her legacy has not hit her yet.

“I don’t think the reality has set in of what I’ve exactly done in the sport,” she said. “I can see it, and I hear it from people, and I see a glimpse of it, but the full magnitude I don’t think I’ve realised just yet.
