Simone Biles has refused to rule out a stunning return to the Olympics after teasing fans with a three-word hint about competing at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
The 28-year-old, already the most decorated gymnast in history, was widely expected to retire after her dazzling performances in Paris in 2024.
But speaking at the Ready25 conference in , Biles dropped a tantalising clue that she might not be done with the Olympics just yet.
Asked directly if she’d consider competing in LA, the American superstar said simply: ‘Never say never.’
The remark has sparked a wave of excitement among fans, with many now hoping that Biles will return for a fourth Olympics – and this time, on home soil.
Her form in Paris 2024 was dominant. She won gold in the team, all-around, and vault competitions, bringing her total to seven career Olympic golds.

It had been widely believed that Paris would mark the end of Biles’s competitive career – a crowning send-off for the gymnastics queen.
But her new comments suggest the door is still open.
While Biles has spoken in the past about the intense mental and physical demands of Olympic preparation, she’s also never fully ruled out the idea of continuing.
If she does compete in Los Angeles, Biles would become the first American gymnast to appear in four Olympic Games.
Meanwhile, amid speculation that Biles has recently undergone a procedure on her chest, fans begun to wonder if that meant an end to her gymnastics career.
Rumors have run rampant after Biles posted some photos of her showing her body off in a bikini while on vacation.

The 28-year-old Olympic gymnast – who was recently embroiled in a feud with Riley Gaines – showed off her busty new look in snaps shared to her Instagram last month.
The seven-time Olympic gold medal winner wore a Fendi bikini that highlighted her ample cleavage as she enjoyed a getaway to Belize with her NFL player husband Jonathan Owens, 29.
Some fans believe that she underwent breast augmentation – comparing these recent photos to previous snaps and believing that she’s had them enhanced.
Beyond the clear confidence boost she may receive, many have wondered if this means the end to her career as an athlete.
