Simone Biles indicated Wednesday she could be up to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics and possibly set a record for most medals by an American Olympic gymnast.

Biles, who picked up a silver and a bronze medal at the Tokyo Games, told NBC’s "Today" she wasn’t closing the door on a possible opportunity to represent the U.S. in Paris.

"I think I have to relish and take this Olympics in, and kind of recognize what I've done with my career, because after 2016, I didn't get to do that," Biles said. "Life just happens so quickly, and now I have a greater appreciation for life after everything that's happened in the last five years."

Biles has seven Olympic medals to her name, and one more would put her ahead of Shannon Miller for most medals by an American gymnast.
