The greatest also ages

The 27-year-old gymnastics superstar with seven Olympic medals, Simone Biles, is well aware of this reality. In her docuseries Simone Biles Rising, part two, fans get an intimate look at the journey of the gymnastics G.O.A.T. as she prepares for the Paris Olympics. She humorously acknowledges that her age is “old for a gymnast” and that she has to be more careful, describing herself as feeling like “a ticking time bomb” for an injury.

Despite this, Biles believes she’s in excellent form and ready for anything that comes her way. As she looks toward the next Olympics, she’s made it clear that we shouldn’t count her out. “Never say never,” she told ‘Today’ in August. “The next Olympics is on home turf. So you just never know. I’m just going to relax and see where life takes me.”
