The legendary gymnast opened up to Sports Illustrated about her future in gymnastics after being named their 2024 "Sportsperson of the Year."

Simone Biles may not only be the "greatest of all times" in gymnastics but also in knowing when it's time to take the next step.

After earning four Olympic gold medals, one silver, and two bronze, Simone Biles has become a household name for Olympic followers and non-followers alike.


But when asked about the 2028 Summer Olympics, Biles realized that it might be time to focus on areas of her life other than her professional career, despite just being named "Sportsperson of the Year" for 2024 bySports Illustrated.

During Biles' interview with Sports Illustrated, she was asked what the 2028 Summer Olympics would have to be about for her to compete in L.A.

She responded succinctly:

"Life and death."

She went on to explain:

"I've accomplished so much, there's almost nothing left to do, rather than just to be snobby and try again, and for what?"
"I'm at a point in my career where I'm humble enough to know when to be done."

She suggested that other areas of her life might be more important now.

"What sacrifices would be made if I go back now? When you're younger, it's like, prom, college... Now, it's like, starting a family, being away from my husband. What's really worth it?"

At the end of the day, Biles wants to be remembered, but it's not as "the greatest of all time."

"I want to be remembered as someone who loved the sport... had fun doing it... and was just authentically herself."

Fans of Simone Biles were left applauding her for knowing her worth.




But some really hoped that Biles would change her mind before 2028.



Though fans would love to see Simone Biles back on stage in 2028, the love and appreciation for her knowing her worth was apparent throughout the comments section.

Every sportsperson's time in front of audience eventually comes to an end. How they leave the game is often as important as how they played it.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
