Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, recently opened up about a serious health scare that she described as ‘almost dying.’ The 28-year-old athlete shared her experience on Instagram, posting a photo of multiple hospital bands on her arm and calling it one of the scariest experiences of her life.

Recovery and Support

Biles did not disclose specific details about her health condition but mentioned that she spent the past week resting in bed. She expressed gratitude towards her ‘close circle’ who supported her during this challenging time.

Earlier this year, Biles had spoken about her uncertainty regarding participation in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. In an interview with French sports daily L’Equipe, she emphasized her desire to enjoy life and spend time with her husband, Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears. Biles acknowledged her accomplishments in gymnastics and indicated that any return to the sport would require significant motivation.

Despite the health scare, Biles plans to be present at the Los Angeles Games, although her role remains undecided. She expressed that whether she participates as an athlete or a spectator is still uncertain, noting the physical toll of her sport and her aging body.
