The 2024 season featured a variety of epic gymnastics performances for the fans to enjoy. However, the Paris Olympics proved to be one of the best, but why? Simone Biles made a triumphant comeback to the Olympic arena, securing three gold medals and a silver medal, dominating the charts, and reaffirming her status as the sport’s greatest athlete.

Indeed, it was a sight to behold for the American audience, as they watched their athlete shine in pride. However, as is typical with the fans, they always demand more. But is Biles planning to attend the next edition of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles? Kind of unsure, as the gymnast has opened up about her career ambitions and a few plans with her husband after his current NFL season comes to an end.

Simone Biles being candid with her legion of followers

Keeping up her status as the GOAT of the sport, Simone Biles has a huge fan following. And this demands a ton of reassurance, as they always want to see her shine on the mat, cementing accolades after accolades in her already stellar career. Her trip to Paris was also unsure a few years ago, after she took a break from gymnastics, owing to suffering from twisties at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. 

Indeed, it was a difficult time for the American gymnast, but she battled her demons and got back to the stage in 2023. Biles’ glory came again in 2024 at the French capital, owing to her performances. However, fans have once again raised questions about her participation in the 2028 LA Olympics. Will the world see her again at the sport’s grandest venue? Speaking to People, Biles unveiled, stating, “Absolutely not.” Ouch for the fans? No, maybe, because she continued, stating, “We’re barely done with this year.”

Indeed, all eyes are locked in to watch the GOAT shine again on the mat, but time is everything. Biles makes her own decisions, and whatever path she chooses will be a delight for her fans, as she has consistently done. However, she’s also a human, and she looks forward to living her life more than just competing in gymnastics events each and every moment. So does Biles have any specific plans? In the same interview, the gymnast revealed the discussion she had with her husband, Jonathan Owens, stating, “Jonathan and I want to go on a couple of vacations; we’re planning those out right now.”

Biles is waiting for her husband’s NFL season to be over. They have been in a long-distance relationship for a long time, owing to Owens’ schedule with the Chicago Bears. Indeed, Owens’ busy schedule with the Chicago Bears has made it difficult for him to spend the holidays with his family, particularly his wife. However, Biles has always been understanding, and she knows how much effort Owens is putting into his career and managing his relationship. But what has the gymnast been up to during the holiday season?

A kind act towards the local community

Can you guess what Simone Biles has never forgotten? Her roots. Giving back to people in need has always been her top priority, but what does she gain from this? Nothing; she’s just a Samaritan. This year, especially on Christmas, she wasn’t able to have a wonderful time with her husband, owing to his NFL duties. But what did she do during this particular time?

Collaborating with the DICK’S Sporting Goods store in Houston, Biles got chosen for their holiday campaign. But for what? She seized the opportunity to decorate the store, showcasing her skills to the fullest. After the decoration, Biles posed in front of the four Christmas trees and stood beside the two golden goats wearing gold medals, representing her status in the sport. There were also gifts in the background to give that touch to the festive vibe.

Furthermore, DICK’S Sporting Goods and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation gave Biles a $100,000 Sports Matter grant. With this money, she used to donate to the local community, especially the local sporting organizations that support young athletes in Houston. This was indeed a generous gesture during the holiday season!
