SIMONE BILES POSTS GYM PHOTO AS LA 2028 OLYMPIC SPECULATION CONTINUES

Simone Biles has shared an Instagram Story featuring a photograph taken inside the World Champions Centre in Texas, reigniting speculation about a potential fourth Olympic appearance at Los Angeles 2028. The seven-time Olympic gold medalist stepped away from competition following the Paris 2024 Olympics and has not yet committed to returning. The facility, closely associated with Biles and her family, houses equipment used by elite gymnasts including foam pits, trampolines and spring floors. Her appearance at the gym does not confirm she has resumed serious training for LA28, but prompted renewed discussion among fans about whether another Olympic run remains possible.

In April 2026, Biles told CNN Sports at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid that her chances of competing at Los Angeles were "50-50". She stated that the deciding factor was not physical readiness but mental preparation. "Mental health plays a big role in it because, physically, my coaches will get me in shape," Biles said. "Mental is a huge thing, and it's a lot of dedication on that, because the road's not easy. It's long, but it's still work." She will be 31 years old at the time of the 2028 Games, which are scheduled to take place in the United States.

The prospect of competing on home soil at a fourth Olympics remains significant for Biles, though no decision has been made with two years remaining until Los Angeles. Her previous public statements suggest that mental and emotional factors weigh equally with physical capability in determining her future participation. Biles has not announced any formal training schedule or timeline for a decision regarding the 2028 Games.
