While being interviewed by Hoda Kotb on 'TODAY', the Olympic gymnast reflected on her career and what she wants her legacy to be.

Simone Biles' run at the 2024 Olympic games in Paris has officially come to an end, and the most-decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history sat down with Hoda Kotb on TODAY to reflect on her career and talk about her legacy.

After the host asked Biles how she wants to be remembered in the sport, the 11-time Olympic medalist responded with a simple yet heartfelt answer:


"Someone who loved the sport, had fun doing it and was just authentically herself.”

Viewers of the clip all agreed that Biles is already known for exactly that, with many expressing that she is a joy to watch on and off the mat.










Elsewhere in the interview, Biles shared she hasn't quite grasped the fact that this summer's games are over, but she did get a little emotional after leaving the arena.

"Yesterday, once we got back to the village, I looked at Jordan [Chiles] and just started bawling my eyes out."
“And she was like, ‘I knew it was going happen — I just didn’t know when!’”

She added:

“I think I was just so full of emotion and I finally released all of that."
"I was so proud, happy, bittersweet that the journey’s over. It’s so crazy. It happened too quick."
"My third Olympics!”

And as for an appearance at the 2028 games in Los Angeles, Biles is still unsure.

“You know, you never say never."
"The next Olympics is on home turf."
"I’m just going to relax and see where life takes me."
