Simone Biles’ Response to a Question About the 2028 Olympics Is Pure Gold

Simone Biles has the perfect comeback for everyone asking about her future in the 2028 Olympics.

On the September 4 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 11-time Olympic gold medalist addressed the endless speculation about whether she’ll make a return. When Fallon brought up the topic, Biles playfully responded, “Everybody wants to know this. I’m like, Can’t I just live?”

She also joked that she might be too old for the next Summer Games in Los Angeles. “I’m getting older—27 is a bit much for a gymnast,” she said, to which Fallon countered, “You’re a baby!”

Biles added, “In real life, I’m like fine wine. Outside the gym, I’m young—tequila with no hangovers. But in the gym? I feel old.”

She even suggested a fun twist: “Maybe we could do something like tag? Tag beam, tag vault, tag floor, tag bars. Just tag someone else in!”

While fans are waiting to hear about her potential Olympic comeback, Biles has plenty on her plate. The second part of her Netflix documentary, Simone Biles: Rising—which she promoted with a hilarious Emily in Paris spoof—will be available next month.

The first part, which dropped on July 17, gave a deep dive into her life, mental health journey, and training as she prepared for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Part two will stream on October 25, showing her as she earns her spot on the U.S. Olympic Team and continues to build her legendary career.
