Biles claimed two more gold medals to add to her esteemed career
The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris could be the last of Simone Biles career, as the artistic gymnast has dropped a cryptic hint about her prospects of competing in Los Angeles in four years’ time.
The 27-year-old has added gold in the team’s event and gold in the all-around event to take her haul in the Summer Games up to six golds, one silver and two bronzes throughout her career as her total career medal haul surpasses 40.

Yet as she exorcizes the demons of Tokyo 2020 and proves she’s still the best in the world, the legendary artistic gymnastics star could bow out from the sport entirely with her whole life ahead of her, and it’s something she seems to hint towards.
“Rebeca can have the next one,” Biles said of Rebeca Andrade, upon becoming the oldest gymnast to win gold at the Summer Olympics since Maria Gorokhovskaya all the way back in 1952.
Fans quickly noticed the comment and believed she is alluding to the end of her career as a senior professional, whilst Biles swiftly backed up the strain competing is having on her after three Olympic appearances.
“I’m tired. She’s way too close. I’ve never had an athlete that close,” Biles added of Andrade after the event. “So, it definitely put me on my toes, and it brought out the best athlete in myself.
“So, I’m excited and proud to compete with her, but I’m getting uncomfortable guys. I don’t like that feeling – I was stressed.”
Why could Simone Biles retire?
Biles, now at the age of 27, is practically ancient in gymnastics which prefers the flexibility of teenagers and very early adults over the robust nature of a fully grown and matured person, so the changing of the guard is not too far away.
She also has nothing to prove after showing she is still the best after Tokyo 2020, when she withdrew on mental grounds.
Additionally, an extra Olympics cycle would place her at 31 by the time of Los Angeles 2028 and since she married in 2023, she could also be thinking about beginning her own family, which would be something very difficult to balance against professional gymnastics.
