Her body seems to agree. Biles, currently 28, will be 31 when the LA Olympic Games start in July 2028.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-block article-block-text css-1cgrwt0 e1arxily0\" data-display-name=\"GenericText\">\n<p>&#8220;I went back to the village, I took the elevator and my body literally collapsed. I was sick for 10 days,&#8221; she told L\u2019Equipe, before recounting another experience. &#8220;The other day, we were sprinting in the garden with friends, I had aches and pains for three days. So, I honestly don&#8217;t know. We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-block article-block-text css-1cgrwt0 e1arxily0\" data-display-name=\"GenericText\">\n<p>Still, the door isn\u2019t completely closed. \u201cWhether on the apparatus or in the stands, I still don\u2019t know,\u201d she said of her presence at the 2028 Games. \u201cBut 2028 feels so far away, and my body is aging. I felt it in Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-block article-block-text css-1cgrwt0 e1arxily0\" data-display-name=\"GenericText\">\n<p>Yet, even as time ticks forward and priorities shift, Biles remains a comet in motion. She\u2019s already rewritten what\u2019s possible in gymnastics. Whatever her role in L.A., her legacy is unshakable. Anything now is just icing on the cake. She\u2019s already soared, twisted, and landed in the history books. Now, she\u2019s seeing what life feels like when the mat is behind her and the horizon is wide open.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-12019\" src=\"https:\/\/mpmradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/New-Project-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"165\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mpmradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/New-Project-1-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/mpmradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/New-Project-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mpmradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/New-Project-1-1-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/mpmradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/New-Project-1-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mpmradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/New-Project-1-1-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 165px) 100vw, 165px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off winning three golds and a silver in Paris, Biles is now focused on more than just the podium.
