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.”

You can watch below.

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."

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
