Gymnast Simone Biles is weighing a potential return to competition for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. During an appearance at the 2026 US Open on September 8, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist stated she is considering the move but has not reached an official decision. Biles noted that she intends to seek advice from Serena Williams regarding a potential comeback. Mental health remains a primary factor in her decision-making process as she balances her recovery following the 2024 Paris Olympics with the physical demands of training. Biles has not ruled out a return and continues to share training footage on social media while evaluating her options. She previously described the likelihood of her return as a 50-50 split earlier this year.
