Simone Biles speaks out about the one question reporters need to ‘stop asking’ her

Simone Biles speaks out about the one question reporters need to ‘stop asking’ her

Team USA favorite Simone Biles doesn't want journalists asking her a particular question

Simone Biles is calling on reporters to stop asking Olympic gold medalists one specific question.

At this year's Olympic Games, Biles has achieved a remarkable three gold medals - her most recent being yesterday (August 3) for Women's Vault.

She's also bagged gold medals for Women's Artistic Individual All-Round and Women's Artist Team All-Round alongside her fellow Team USA gymnasts.

Biles' current tally is ten Olympic medals over the course of her career - seven of which are gold.

Following any medal wins at the Olympics, sports stars like Biles are asking a series of questions by the press and there's one in particular she doesn't want to be asked.

Taking to X today (August 4), the 27-year-old tweeted: "You guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics."

"Let us soak up the moment we’ve worked our whole lives for," she added in a follow-up post.

People have since agreed with Biles' sentiments and praised her for her tweet.

One person wrote to the Olympian: "Absolutely agree! Athletes have just achieved something incredible and need time to enjoy and reflect on their success before thinking about what’s next."

"Exactly: stay in and with the moment as long as possible," said a second.

Meanwhile someone jokingly went on to ask Biles the question she doesn't like about what's next after winning gold, and she replied: "Babysitting the medal."

10/10 response.

Biles has also been applauded in recent days for her response to people's criticism about her hair.

Despite the fact she won another three gold medals for her country, online trolls were too busy commenting on the gymnast's hair and said that it looked 'sloppy'.

Responding to this on Instagram, Biles told her haters: "Don’t come for me about my hair. IT WAS DONE but bus has no AC and it’s like 9,000 degrees. Oh and a 45-minute ride."

She added: "Next time you wanna comment on a Black girl’s hair. JUST DON’T."

While she's still riding the high of this year's Olympics, Biles has already been asked if she'll be competing again.

"You know, never say never," she said. "The next Olympics is at home so you never know."

Biles went on to quip: "But I am getting really old."

The next Olympics is Los Angeles 2028, which will mark the third time the city has hosted the Olympics and the first time hosting the Paralympics.

According to the website more than 80 venues will be erected in Southern California for the sporting affair, 'promising fans unbeatable spectating experiences'.

Olympic Games are planned years in advance, with LA winning the bid back in 2017.

The location for the 2032 Games have already been picked too, with Brisbane, Australia, set to be the hosts that year.
