Simone Biles may have just hinted that she’s not done with gymnastics yet, and fans are already buzzing about a possible return for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. According to Parade, the gold medalist made a surprise visit to the Today show on January 10 to celebrate Hoda Kotb’s final broadcast. During the visit, she made a comment that sparked excitement. While chatting with Kotb, who will cover the upcoming Olympics for NBC, Biles said, “Hopefully we’re in LA together, whatever that means.”
Though Biles didn’t explain further, Kotb joked, “We broke news on my last day!” This left many wondering if Biles might be planning another Olympic run or taking on a different role, like coaching, judging, or commentating.
The 27-year-old gymnast, who has won more medals than anyone in the sport’s history, had recently mentioned to Sports Illustrated that she was thinking about retirement. She admitted, “I’ve achieved so much already. There’s not much left to prove unless I’m just competing for the sake of it.”
Still, her comment on Today suggests she might not be ready to say goodbye to gymnastics entirely. Parade highlighted how emotional the moment was for Kotb, who shared how she’s followed Biles’ incredible journey, from her early wins to her struggles and inspiring comebacks.
Whether Biles aims to compete or take on a behind-the-scenes role, her presence at the LA Games would be exciting for fans.
According to Parade, Kotb’s heartfelt goodbye was made even more special by Biles’ surprise visit, which marked a memorable end to her time on Today.
