Simone Biles is back in the gym that built her and\u00a0teasing a potential gymnastics comeback.<\/p>\n
The Olympic champion posted a series of Instagram stories<\/a> from inside World Champions Centre, the Texas gym owned by her parents where she trained for years to became an 11\u2011time Olympic medalist.<\/p>\n In her first photo, Biles stands in front of a pit filled with red foam cubes, surrounded by beams, mats, a trampoline and a banner that reads, “The World is Yours.”<\/p>\n The next image shows her locker, still stocked with items from her competitive days: a goat stuffed animal, heel cups, Aquaphor, perfume, Sol de Janeiro spray and other self\u2011care products, plus a hand\u2011drawn poster with her name.<\/p>\n “Just how I left it,” Biles wrote over the photo.<\/p>\n Naturally, the internet is spiraling over what her visit could mean, especially with the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics<\/a> on the horizon.<\/p>\n A Reddit thread<\/a> quickly filled with speculation.\u00a0<\/p>\n One fan wrote, “I won’t get my hopes up\u2026I won’t get my hopes up\u2026” Another replied, “Too late! My hopes are up. I am bracing for heartbreak if she was just cleaning out her locker.”<\/p>\n A third added, “‘Just how I left it?!’ Don’t play with our hearts, Simone\ud83d\ude2d.”<\/p>\n Someone else chimed in, “I honestly cannot see simone playing with people by teasing and then ripping the rug out from under her fans.”<\/p>\n Biles was asked whether she planned to compete at the Los Angeles Games<\/a> in 2025, and she responded, “I’m really trying to enjoy life, to spend time with my husband [Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens], go support him at his games, live my life as a woman. I’ve accomplished so much in my sport. For me to come back, it would really have to excite me.”<\/p>\n Biles has said she will be in Los Angeles in 2028, but she isn’t sure in what role.<\/p>\n “Whether on the apparatus or in the stands, I still don’t know that,” she told\u00a0L’Equipe.<\/a> “But 2028 seems so far away, and my body is aging. I felt it in Paris.”<\/p>\n In July, Biles told fans she was\u00a0receiving medical treatment<\/a>\u00a0in what appeared to be a clinical setting, only weeks after saying she “almost died”<\/a> during a health scare.<\/p>\n She didn’t share details about the procedure or what prompted it, and information about her condition remains unclear. Despite the circumstances, she appeared upbeat in the photo, with Owens by her side as she underwent the undisclosed operation.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
