Simone Biles Is ‘Ashamed to Admit’ She Hasn’t Unpacked 2024 Olympics Suitcase

Simone Biles reveals that she has more than a few remnants of the 2024 Olympics laying around her home.

The 11-time Olympic medalist, 27, revealed on her Instagram Stories that she still has an “unpacked” suitcase that she brought back from the Paris Olympics, which ran from July 26 to Aug. 11.

The gymnast shared a photo of the blue baggage, which was left unzipped and showed several items including a white U.S.A. sweatshirt, a blue backpack and gray sweatpants. A pair of white sneakers could be seen on the floor beside the suitcase. 

“I’m truly ashamed to admit that I still have not unpacked one of my suitcases from the Olympics,” she wrote over the photo, adding that it was full of “all clean clothes.”

This comes a month after the Olympian revealed in her cover story for Sports Illustrated that she has a “forbidden Olympics closet” in her home with husband Jonathan Owens, 29.

The “closet,” she explained at the time, is actually an infrequently used guest room, which the couple has turned into a designated space for the Olympic gear Biles has from the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Sometimes, when her NFL player husband was away from home, she would pull out some of the items — such as leotards and Team USA pins — and cry, she told Sports Illustrated.

Biles notably dropped out of the 2020 Olympics due to her experience with “twisties” — and the related mental health issues she faced — before making her big comeback four years later at the Paris Olympics, where she pushed through a calf injury to win three golds in the team, all-around and vault finals, plus a silver in floor.

When asked about potentially returning for another Olympics, Biles told Sports Illustrated in a separate interview that the chances of her representing Team USA in 2028 are very slim.

“Because I’ve accomplished so much, there’s almost nothing left to do, rather than to just be snobby and to try again and for what? I’m at a point in my career where I’m humble enough to know when to be done,” the seven-time Olympic gold medalist said.

Biles, who is known as the most decorated gymnast of all time, also noted that “sacrifices” and “consequences” would be made if she decides to return to the sport that she has dominated for a decade, and questioned if it makes sense to delay starting a family with Owens. 

“If you go back, you’ll be greedy,” she told the outlet. “Those are the consequences. But that’s also your decision to decide. What sacrifices would be made if I go back now? When you’re younger, it’s like, prom, college. Now it’s like, starting a family, being away from my husband. What’s really worth it?”
