The American gymnast Simone Bilesawarded as best athlete of the year at the Laureus Sports Awards in Madrid, he declared on Monday “not to be safe” to extend his career until the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028.
“At the moment I am still physically and mentally recovering from the Paris Games. I sacrificed so many things that I try to enjoy my free time before deciding if I want to train and resume competition,” confessed the most laureate gymnast in history.
“Many people think that it is only a one -year commitment, but in reality it is the four years prior to the Olympic (preparation). Of course they will be in Los Angeles, in the United States, which is very talented, but I am not sure to compete again,” he added, before specifying that he will be in the Olympic event “in any case, either in the competition or in the stands.” “Many people think that it is only a one -year commitment, but in reality it is the four years prior to the Olympic (preparation).

At 28, the Queen of Gymnastics, seven times Olympic champion, made a little more history last European summer by conquering three new gold medals in Paris, on her great return to the Olympic scene after a long break to take care of her mental health.
Biles, chosen athlete of the year on Monday at the annual ceremony of the Laureus del Deporte Awards, had already received the prize for the best reappearance of the year in 2024, after his abandonment in the General Team Contest in Tokyo in 2021, due to the loss of spatial references, called ‘Twisties’.
