Dominique Dawes and Simone Biles
Ace gymnast Simone Biles has achieved a lot in her career thus far and doesn’t have anything left to prove. The four-time Olympic gold medal winner will now compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris to bring back more glory for the United States of America (USA).
Biles has received massive praises from some of the top names of the gymnastics community. Meanwhile, legendary Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes shared her thoughts on what the 24-year-old is going to do next when it comes to her Olympic career.
“Can she come back? She could probably come back for a third and a fourth Olympics,” Dawes said during an interview with PopCulture.com. “The level of difficulty that she’s done, she could water down and still make another Olympic team. Will she do it? I don’t know. I’m sure she’s got a very packed schedule. She might want to move on with her life. She might want to get married. And so maybe Simone does come back, even married. And even after having a child. Who knows.”
“Think she handled it all very classy”
Although Biles didn’t win a gold medal in Tokyo, she did impress everyone with how she handled herself while battling the twisties. The Ohio native competed in just a single event, the balance beam, and earned a bronze medal. The American gymnast also won a silver medal in the team competition.
“I think she handled it all very classy,” the 45-year-old added. “I will say it was very ballsy that she was doing interviews with a goat and that she was even wearing a goat at one competition on her leotard. I’m like, ‘Whoa, like pressure.’ And then at the Olympic games, there was a lot of things that happened. Many of the things occurred behind the scenes that we were not privy to, and she made the best decision for herself. And so I’m very proud of her. She was able to listen to her heart and do what was best for her, safest for her physically as well as mentally.”
