The 27-year-old earned four medals in the French capital, including golds in the team all-around, and individual all-around and vault events.

After her Paris Olympics performance, Simone Biles has been touring various parts of the USA as part of the Golf Over America tour. AS the tour stops over in os Angeles, she was asked whether fans can expect to see her be back there for the LA Games in 2028. During her appearance on the "Young Hollywood" YouTube channel on Friday, September 26, the Olympian said,

"It's such a tough question. it's like I can never get a break. We won at the Olympics, and then it's like, 'What's next, what's next?' Right now is what's next, it's living in the moment, taking in everything day-by-day, and just doing this celebration [Gold Over] tour with the cast and the audience" (01:55).

"I think it’s funny to play off, obviously all of my fans and people have embraced, loved and supported me throughout my journey. But also the haters, because there’s always the comments like, ‘Stop calling her the G.O.A.T. She’s not the G.O.A.T.’ So it’s like it makes people happy and then it just pisses people off" [02:38].
