Here's what the 7-time Olympic medalist has planned.
Ever since the G.O.A.T. wrapped her latest run at the Olympics, fans have been asking the same question: Will Simone Biles retire? Though she’s only 24, it wouldn’t be uncommon for a gymnast of her age to withdraw from the sport for good. But for now, Biles says she’s still “keeping the door open” on competing again.
“It just felt really amazing,” Biles told Kotb, as per ET. “I’m proud of myself for the way I pushed up and even learned that dismount that I haven’t done up in years and just put up a good set. That’s all I really wanted, I wasn’t expecting to walk away with a medal or anything. I just wanted to go out there, do it for myself and I did.”
That confidence clearly paid off, but it doesn’t mean that Biles still doesn’t have her doubts. The Olympian went on to describe the “overwhelming” feelings she experienced during this year’s Olympic games, telling Kotb, “It feels heavy. It’s like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and I’m very small, so I feel like at times it’s very overwhelming.
