Olympic gymnastics icon Simone Biles told the Associated Press that she has not yet decided whether to attempt a fourth Olympic appearance at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
Biles, 29, said she is "leaning towards" competing but needs to weigh options such as her age – she will be 31 in July 2028 – the impact of training on her reproductive health, and the possibility of starting a family with husband Jonathan Owens, Indianapolis Colts safety.
She added that the prospect of a home Olympics feels like a "big reunion" and expressed a strong fear of missing out, calling a Los Angeles Games "absolutely incredible".
