The Olympic gymnast was on hand to watch the biggest matches of the event, and she used the opportunity to praise Serena Williams for returning to tennis.
Obviously, this created questions about whether Biles will compete in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, California, but she did not provide an answer. She told People that she had no breaking news.
At this point, many people just expressed happiness after seeing Biles out and about. The reason is that she had frightened many with multiple posts on social media.
She previously posted a photo in June that showed her wearing a hospital wristband. She wrote, "I'm not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today's age. But almost dying wasn't on my bingo card earlier this week."
Biles also responded to the fans by telling them that she was not yet ready to talk about the medical scare just yet.
Fast-forward to late July, when Biles shared another update. She revealed that she had undergone a procedure on her husband Jonathan Owens' birthday. She did not provide details about the procedure at the time, nor has she since. Instead, she and Owens have gone on vacation and made an appearance at the ESPY Awards.
Biles is the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history. She has won 11 medals and 30 world championships during her career.
Whether she adds to this number remains unknown. A chance remains that she will compete in the 2028 Olympic Games, but she is not yet committing to this scenario. Instead, she told CNN Sports that she is 50-50 with under two years until the global event.
"Mental health plays a big role in it because, physically, my coaches will get me in shape," Biles told the outlet in April. "I can get myself in shape. We believe in that ability. We're really thankful that I'm still healthy.
"Mental is a huge thing and it's a lot of dedication on that because the road's not easy. It's long, but it's still work."
