Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in U.S. history, knows how to make a splash — and this Memorial Day was no exception. The seven-time Olympic gold medalist turned heads and sent her social media followers into a frenzy with a sizzling red swimsuit photo posted to her Instagram Story.
In the image, Biles poses confidently alongside a close friend, wearing a striking red bikini that perfectly captures the spirit of summer. The post quickly sparked a wave of admiration from fans, with comments like “Epic!” and “Wow, just wow!” flooding in. One supporter wrote, “Incredible photo. Love you, Simone,” while another added, “Glad to see you’re doing well!”
This isn’t the first time an athlete has stunned with a swimsuit snap. Recently, Paige Spiranac’s rival Bri Teresi turned up the heat in a red swimsuit, and Gia Duddy stunned in a new swimsuit snap that had fans losing it. But Biles’ post carries extra weight, as it comes amid ongoing speculation about her competitive future.
At 28, Biles is currently undecided about whether she’ll compete in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. During an interview with CNN earlier this month, she described her chances as “50-50,” noting that time is ticking. “We’re going to have to make these decisions pretty quickly,” she said, adding that the clock is already halfway through 2026.
The gymnastics legend last competed at the 2024 Paris Games, where she added three more gold medals to her already legendary résumé. Her potential return for a home Olympics in LA would be a dream scenario for fans and a massive boost for the sport. But Biles has always prioritized her mental and physical well-being, and she’s made it clear she won’t rush into anything.
For now, Biles seems to be enjoying life outside the gym, soaking up moments like this Memorial Day getaway. Her red swimsuit photo is a reminder that even the world’s greatest athletes know how to relax and have fun — and that sometimes, a simple snapshot can reignite the excitement around a sporting icon.
Whether or not she steps onto the mat in 2028, Biles continues to captivate audiences. Her Instagram post is just the latest example of how she remains a dominant force in sports culture, both in and out of competition.
