It’s been a year since famous American gymnast Simone Biles withdrew from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Since then, there haven’t been talks of a comeback as she is taking a break from gymnastics. Recently, though, she appeared on the famous TV show, “The Late Late Show With James Corden”, and discussed the possibilities of a comeback. Discussing her plans for the future, Biles is setting up a new role for the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

After winning The Presidential Medal of Freedom, Biles spoke about a return for the next Olympic Games. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics ended with her withdrawing from competitions. Thus, she discussed the possibilities of a comeback in the next Olympic Games. 

Is Simone Biles ready to make a comeback?

“I think, right now, I still have to heal mentally and physically, so I will be in Paris. I just don’t know at what role, if that is an athlete or an audience member, so we’ll just have to see,” said Biles. Many athletes travel with their team as a coach or a mentor to help athletes out. In Biles’ case, she can get behind the desk and do commentary. 

Biles made news globally after withdrawing from the gymnastics competitions because of mental health struggles. Thus, she received widespread support for her stance on the matter. A year passed by as fans waited to see her on the floor. Wait no more, as Biles discussed how she is not ready to make her long-awaited return to the sport. Instead, she has a new idea in place.

But for now, her stance on her comeback is pretty solid. She does not want to return to the sport until she is fully fit and refocused. Right now, she has massive wedding plans with NFL player Jonathan Owens to look forward to.

Was Tokyo Biles’ last performance?

Fans cannot underestimate the pressures she faced at the Olympics. Being the forerunner for her country’s chances in gymnastics, Biles prioritized her mental health instead of inevitable glory. One question that comes to everyone’s mind is whether the greatest gymnast of all time will ever return to her holy grail. If not, the last bronze medal she won in the balance beam competition is her last. 

The sight of not seeing Simone Biles in gymnastics is painful. The only real hope for fans is maybe how Michael Phelps retired from swimming and came back to win more gold medals. In the same way, is Simone playing with our minds for a comeback? Let’s wait and watch!
