According to a clip shared on Twitter, when Kotb asked the 26-year-old whether to bet on her participation in the upcoming Olympics, Biles’ answer was positive. Biles said, “Right now, I would say that’s the path I want to take, so I don’t mind if you put it on the ‘yay’ side.”
After confirming her participation in the competition, the newly married gymnast revealed her preparations for the competition. He explained that he would be more serious about his health. Biles said,
“I think I need to take care of myself a little more and listen to my body and make sure that I make time for the important things in my life, instead of before, it’s just ‘go, go, go,’ and then make time after that.
She continued, “This time, it was intentional, going to therapy, making sure everything was in line so I could do my best in the gym and be a good wife, a good daughter, a good friend, and all the good things. “
Regarding his strategy in the competition, the athlete stated that he will invest a lot of faith in himself, his teammates and his coach. He added, “Most importantly, coming into the gym and making sure I do the numbers, the reps, feeling confident about it.”
Biles’ confirmation for the 2024 Olympics comes weeks after she won her eighth title at the USA Gymnastics Championships. At the competition, she finished 3.9 points ahead of Shilese Jones, the all-around silver medalist at the 2022 US and world championships.

Simone’s 8th national title broke the previous record set in 1933, making her the oldest woman to win the tournament. Prior to this win, Biles returned to being competitive at the US Classic in the suburbs and was victorious.
The decorated athlete shared his delight at the achievement, saying he felt good but still had work to do. “I still think there are some things that need to be worked out (mistakes) throughout the night in my routine. But for a first meeting, I would say it went well.”
US Gymnasts Reveal Toughest Event Amidst Training For 2024 Olympics
While Biles is focused on the Olympics, she recently opened up about her most challenging event to repeat. The candid revelation came when a fan asked, “What was your hardest event to come back from?” during the Q&A segment.
Responding to curious fans, Biles revealed, “It always gets in the way… mentally & physically.” He went on to write, “But this happened…. BABY!!! turn around at any iykyk event. Mainly because when distractions happen, you go straight to the gym & work on it…. I took over a year off and THEN came back… So I was terrified.”
In the final part of the revelation, the 26-year-old athlete assured the well-being of his fans. “But I’m fine,” Biles admitted. “I turned around again. No worries. Everything is good.”
Recall that US gymnasts withdrew from the women’s team final at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after experiencing “twisties.” The Twisties are terrifying mental blocks that cause athletes to lose track of their position in the air.

The four-time Olympic gold medalist, during an interview, revealed that after he made a difficult decision, he received “a lot of love and support from fans, family.”
Biles expressed gratitude for the people in her life. “I am very lucky to still be in this position and to have so many people reaching out to me, showing me love and respect. It shines a new light on the sport and ourselves as not only athletes, but as human beings.”
