So, you’re wondering, “How old is Simone Biles?”—probably because you saw her defy gravity on a balance beam and thought, “That person can’t possibly be human, let alone a normal age.” Well, grab a coffee (or a gold medal–sized cookie), because we’re about to break it down.
As of 2025, Simone Biles is 28 years old. Yes, 28. She was born on March 14, 1997—which means she shares a birthday with Einstein. Coincidence? I think not. She’s basically the Einstein of flips, but with better leotards and a lot less hair product.
Now, in the world of gymnastics, 28 is practically ancient. Most elite gymnasts peak in their teens and retire by 20, looking at their joints like, “Sorry, we’re done here.” But Simone? She’s like the Benjamin Button of the sport—getting better with age. At 27, she won four Olympic medals in Paris, including gold, while casually doing skills that make physicists weep. She’s not just “old for gymnastics”; she’s redefining what “old” even means.

Here’s the secret sauce: Simone doesn’t let numbers define her. She’s taken breaks, prioritized her mental health (remember the “twisties” in Tokyo?), and come back stronger. She’s proof that you can age like fine wine while also doing a triple-double off a four-inch beam. So, when someone asks, “Isn’t she getting too old for this?” just smile and point to her gold medals. Or better yet, ask them if they can do a Yurchenko double pike. Thought so.

So, to answer your question: Simone Biles is 28, but she’s also ageless. She’s the friend who shows up to the party later than everyone else, but still does a backflip off the couch. And that, my friend, is the real win.
Here’s to growing older without growing up—and to proving that the best gymnast in history is just getting started.
