Simone Biles on Olympics

Simone Biles, the most decorated American gymnast of all time, has expressed her frustration with reporters and fans asking athletes what their next steps are after winning Olympic medals. Following her recent gold medal win in the vault final at the Paris Olympics, Biles took to social media, urging people to let athletes enjoy their achievements instead of immediately pressuring them for future plans. She highlighted that such questions detract from the significance of the moment, stating, 'You guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics.' Biles has secured three golds in Paris so far and increased her total Olympic medal count to ten, tying her for third most among female gymnasts. Despite rumors of retirement, she has not ruled out competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Biles's calls for change reflect broader concerns about the expectations placed on elite athletes.
