Biles, 27, 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 her husbandJonathan 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?”

As the current face of the sport and responsible for redefining the world of women’s gymnastics, Biles said that despite her endless accolades, she hasn’t truly absorbed the impact of her legacy. “I don’t think the reality has set in of what I’ve exactly done in the sport,” she said.

“I can see it, and I hear it from people, and I see a glimpse of it, but the full magnitude I don’t think I’ve realized just yet. I don’t think I’ll realize ’til maybe I retire and look back in a couple years like, Damn, she was good. Because I can see that, but I do it every day. So for me, it’s normal,” Biles added.
