Simone Biles Has Her Eyes On Los Angeles After Paris Triumphs

Simone Biles may be hungry for more.

The record-setting gymnast has conquered Paris with seven gold medals, bringing her career total to 10 overall.

But after winning gold in the women’s vault final, she hinted today that she hasn’t ruled out appearing in a fourth Olympics when event heads to Los Angeles in 2028.

“Is this my last… definitely the Yurchenko double pike,” said Biles in response to a question on whether we’ve seen the last of such vaults. “I mean, I kinda nailed that one. So, you know, never say never. The next Olympics is at home. So you just never know.

“But I am getting really old,” she added, laughing.

At 27-year-old, Biles became the oldest Olympic all-around winner in 72 years since Maria Gorokhovskaya, then 30, won the event’s inaugural at Helsinki 1952.

With 10 Olympic medals so far, and the chance to win two more before leaving Paris, L.A. would offer Biles a chance to pass swimming great Katie Ledecky for the most medals by a U.S. female Olympian. Ledecky currently owns 13 medals.
