Simone Biles admits aging concern and unlikely participation at LA 2028 Olympics

Published by Webster

Simone Biles, who will be 31 when the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics comes along, said that her participation in her home Olympics was not a given and that the constant toll on her body was going to be a factor in her decision. “I’ve accomplished so much in my sport. For me to come back, it would really have to excite me. A lot of people think it’s just a one-year commitment but it truly is the four years leading up to the Olympics. It’s in LA, it’s back in the States, which is so exciting. But if I’m going to compete again, I’m not so sure,” said Biles to L’Equipe. Biles admitted that her body felt old at the Paris Olympics. The American gymnast won three gold medals and a silver last year and has a career total of eleven medals, seven of which are gold medals. Biles also admitted she didn’t know what events she could be a part of at Los Angeles. “Whether on the [gymnastics] apparatus or in the stands, I …

“No Passion, They Look For…”: Olympian Dipa Karmakar Slams Current Generation Of Gymnasts

“No Passion, They Look For…”: Olympian Dipa Karmakar Slams Current Generation Of Gymnasts

Published by Webster

Just-retired Indian gymnastics star Dipa Karmakar believes most of the current generation of gymnasts lack passion and urged them to embrace the sport with fervour to excel on the global stage. Dipa, who blazed a trail by becoming the first Indian woman gymnast to compete at the Olympics and finish a historic fourth in 2016 Rio Games, retired earlier this month, ending a career in which she inspired awe for routinely performing the highly-difficult Produnova vault. “There was junoon (passion) in Dipa, that is why. Same for Pranati,” she said when asked why there is only one Dipa or Pranati Nayak among Indian women gymnasts winning medals on the international stage. “I can’t see this junoon (passion) much in the current generation (of gymnasts). I feel they look for short term, instant success,” she said on Friday night during a panel discussion at an event titled ‘Beyond the Finish Line’, organised by Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon. The diminutive 31-year-old from Tripura grabbed headlines with her fourth-place finish in the vault final of the …

Dipa Karmakar interview: ‘Those who called me a buffalo trying gymnastics had to receive me at the airport with bouquets after medal’ | Sport-others News

Indian pathbreaking gymnast Dipa Karmakar retired this week, calling time on her career on her own terms – after winning gold at the Asian Championships earlier in the year. She was taunted and called a ‘buffalo’ when she started out training on the deathly Produnova vault in 2014 – she responded with a CWG bronze. And she was accused of being ‘old and finished’ before she headed out to the Asian Championship at Tashkent – where she won gold in 2024. In an interview with Indian Express, the 31-year-old talks about the fire of ambition that perennially burnt inside her as she went about proving naysayers wrong while focusing on one of the toughest manoeuvrs in sport, and when she wasn’t sent to the Asian Games despite topping the Indian trials. And about ice cream that she will indulge in, now that she can go easy on her diet. Excerpts: Q. Why did you decide to retire? Dipa Karmakar: I feel extremely emotional because it’s been 25 years of my life. It’s gone now. But …
