Simone Biles delivered an emphatic response to questions about her future Olympic plans
U.S. gymnastics star Simone Biles has been sensational thus far at the Paris Olympics. And though she still has two more events remaining, Biles has already been fielding questions about what the future holds for her outside of the Olympics.
It’s safe to say that the seven-time Olympic gold medalist is tired of those questions.
After Biles won her third gold medal of these Olympic games, she took to Twitter/X and asked for people to stop with the “what’s next” questions. Biles — who would be 31 during the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles — emphasized that all Olympians deserve to be able to soak up the moment before being forced to look ahead.
you guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics

Biles still has the floor exercise and balance beam finals remaining at the Paris Olympics. Los Angeles — or any future competitions — are not even close to a priority right now. She deserves a chance to the enjoy the moment, as do all Olympians.
