    Simone Biles already has three Olympic gold medals in Paris, but the all-time great gymnast isn't done yet. Biles will participate in the Balance Beam and Floor finals on Monday, hoping to add to her historic medal count.

    Biles' future in the sport has been a huge talking point throughout this year's games as Paris could very well be the 27-year-old gymnast's final Olympic appearance.

    While everyone wants to know what's next for Biles, the American superstar is requesting that everyone pump the brakes on discussion about her and other athletes' futures.

    "You guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics," Biles wrote on X.

    "Let us soak up the moment we’ve worked our whole lives for," she continued.

    Biles led the United States to a gold medal in the team finals to kickoff this year's competition. She followed that up with golds in the individual All-Around and Vault.

    "Never say never. The next Olympics is at home. So you just never know," Biles said when asked about her potential participation in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
