Simone Biles Talks Possibility of Competing in 2028 Olympics and Meeting Tom Cruise in Paris

Simone Biles, the undisputed queen of gymnastics, continues to captivate the world not just with her athletic prowess, but also with her candid reflections on her future. After a remarkable performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Biles has left fans wondering whether she’ll grace the world stage again in 2028. In a recent interview, the Olympic champion shared her thoughts on this possibility, while also revealing an unexpected celebrity encounter with none other than Tom Cruise in Paris.

Biles, now 27, already holds seven Olympic medals—four of which are gold—and has set a standard in gymnastics that few can even dream of matching. Yet, despite her numerous accolades, she remains humble and pragmatic about her future in the sport. During a press conference, Biles was asked if she could see herself competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. With a smile, she responded, “I’m taking it one year at a time. 2028 is a long way off, but who knows? Never say never!”

Biles has been through a lot in recent years, including prioritizing her mental health at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where she courageously withdrew from multiple events. This decision ignited global conversations about athlete wellness, and Biles became a symbol of strength both inside and outside the gym. Her return to competition in 2024 demonstrated her resilience, and now fans are left to wonder whether she might aim for another Olympic journey in her home country in 2028.

In addition to discussing her potential Olympic plans, Biles shared a fun highlight from her time in Paris—meeting actor Tom Cruise. The two reportedly crossed paths while attending a high-profile event, and Biles described the meeting as “surreal.” “I couldn’t believe it at first,” she said with a laugh. “We talked for a while, and he was so down-to-earth. It was a memorable moment, for sure!”

As Biles looks forward to her next steps, whether they include another Olympic appearance or new endeavors outside of gymnastics, one thing is certain: her legacy in sports and her impact on the world will endure for years to come. Fans will be eagerly watching to see what’s next for the gymnastics icon—and hoping that 2028 could hold another chapter in her extraordinary career.
