Simone Biles wants to put an end to the dreaded question for Olympic medallists.
Biles, who won another gold medal in the vault final on Saturday to become the most decorated American gymnast in Paris Olympic history, took to social media to express her distaste for the question, “What’s next?”
“After winning an Olympic medal, we should stop asking athletes what’s next,” the 10-time Olympic medalist said. I wrote it to X.
“Enjoy this moment you’ve worked for your whole life.”
One fan asked Biles what her next step was after winning her third gold medal in Paris.
“Medal Babysitter” Biles responded.

Amid rumours swirling about retirement, the 27-year-old did not rule out competing at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
She earned 15.3 points on both vaults on Saturday to win her seventh gold medal.
Biles also won gold medals in the team all-around and individual all-around finals at the Bercy Arena in Paris.
With her victory on vault, Biles became just the second woman to win two gold medals on vault after Vera Caslavska of Czechoslovakia in 1964 and 1968.
Biles also has 40 major international medals, the most of any gymnast.
She has two more chances to add to her medal tally in Paris.
The balance beam and floor exercise finals will both take place on Monday at 6:38 a.m. ET and 8:23 a.m. ET, respectively.
