Legendary gymnast Simone Biles is hoping to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, but it sounds like it's not guaranteed that she'll be able to make the trip.

While speaking to Leah Faye Cooper of Vanity Fair, Biles said, "If I don't make it to Paris, it won't absolutely crush me." When asked if that meant nothing was definitive she replied, "Correct."

The last time Biles competed in the Olympics at the 2020 Tokyo Games, she was forced to withdraw from multiple finals in order to focus on her mental health. She had experienced the "twisties," which Korin Miller of Women's Health described as "a strange phenomenon in gymnastics where someone can no longer do a twisting skill they've done many times in the past."

Biles managed to take home the bronze medal on the balance beam in the Tokyo Olympics, which tied the record for most Olympic medals by an American gymnast. However, she took a two-year hiatus from the sport of gymnastics to focus on her mental health, and she admitted it wasn't easy during her time away.

"I wish I could sit here and tell you it was glorious," Biles said of her time off following Tokyo. "When I took a break after 2016, I had the time of my life. I was doing anything and everything. But after 2020, it was kind of depressing until I started therapy and got help. I felt like a failure. Even though I was empowering so many people and speaking out about mental health, every time I talked about my experience in Tokyo—because it obviously didn't go the way that I had planned—it stung a little bit. But all in all, it was the best decision."

Biles returned to training in late 2022 and returned to competition earlier this year. The 26-year-old set a new record when she won her eighth all-around title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in August. She set the record for most international gymnastics medals when she won her sixth all-around title at the world championships in Belgium in October, giving her 34 for her career.

It's clear that Biles is still at the top of her game, so gymnastics fans are surely hoping to see her add to her illustrious career at the Paris Olympics.
