Simone Biles Confirms She Is (Hopefully) Headed to the 2024 Paris Olympics

at the next Olympic games, I have good news! The world's greatest gymnast told Hoda Kotb in a Today interview that she hopes to be on the mat/beams/parallel bars at the 2024 games in Paris.“That's the path I would love to go,” Biles said.After suffering a bout of “the twisties” at the Olympics in Tokyo, the gymnastics GOAT took a very public break from the sport, only to make a competition—which she won, of course.

It turns out that while she was preparing for her extravagant destination wedding in Mexico, Biles was secretly training the whole time, per .“I think we have to be a little bit more cautious about how we do things, so everything that we're doing leading up to this next games or whatever is very intentional,” Biles told Kotb of the secrecy. “So we've kind of been playing it on the down-low this time, making sure mentally and physically are both intact.

So I think it’ll be different, but it’ll be good.” And when it comes to overcoming the dreaded twisties, Biles said she's trusting her coach and putting in the work. “As long as I showed up for another day and kept putting that work in, then it kind of went down and dwindled, so right now I'm feeling really good.

I think I still sometimes doubt myself, but I'm still doing my therapy and making sure everything's aligned.”, after all. The woman simply cannot be defeated.By Elizabeth LoganBy Elizabeth LoganBy Alex KesslerBy Stephanie McNealMore from GlamourSee More Stories© 2023 Condé Nast.
