The 28-year-old has won seven Olympic gold medals in her illustrious career.
Three of them came in Paris, where she was in top form again.
She won gold in the team, all-around and vault competitions in the French capital.
It was understood she would be retiring from gymnastics following the tournament.
However, she has revealed she will be in Los Angeles in 2028 in some capacity.
Biles hinted at competing, but told reporters she would be in LA either way.
“I have accomplished so much in my sport,” she told French newspaper L’Equipe.
“For me to come back, I would really need to be excited by it.
“You’re going to tell me that the perspective of the Games in Los Angeles is fascinating.
“And I will be there, whether on the apparatus or in the stands, I still haven’t decided.”
Biles had withdrawn from a number of events at the previous Olympics in Tokyo.
She had been suffering from the ‘twisties’ – a mental block gymnasts sometimes have to deal with.
The veteran had said she felt like a failure following a disappointing Tokyo.
'Mother hen' Biles
Simone Biles' first coach Aimee Boorman exclusively told The U.S. Sun that she thinks Biles will be spurred by a new role this year.
“Having younger teammates benefits her because she has stepped in as the mother hen figure,” said Aimee.
“And so she has to tell them to stay calm. You’ve got this. You’re prepared. And so as she’s saying it, she’s also hearing it.
“You always have tiny kids that come into the gym, but they’re never ripped like Simone was,” she said.
“I know she was very self-conscious about it growing up. But from a coaching perspective, it was great.
“I didn’t think that Simone would be a multi gold medal athlete straight away.
“But she did stand out because she was very tiny, but very muscular.”
She was aiming to win six gold medals.
However, Biles had to leave the Japanese capital with a silver and bronze.
Now, she has insisted “2028 seems so far away” and “my body ages”.
“I felt it in Paris,” added Biles.
“At the end of the competition, I went back to the village, I took the elevator and my body literally collapsed.
“I got sick for 10 days.
“So, to be honest, I don’t know. We’ll see.”
This week, Biles left her NFL star husband Jonathan Owens to head to to watch soccer team Real Madrid.
