Simone Biles repeated Wednesday that she wants to compete in the 2020 Olympics, according to multiple reports.

Biles has said for months that she plans to take about one year off from competition, and then return.

One month ago, and probably other times during her recent media flurry, Biles said she wanted to make a run for Tokyo. A reporter asked on Oct. 12 if she thought she would compete in another Olympics.

“Yes, in 2020,” Biles said in Chicago.

Aly Raisman has also said she plans to try for a third Olympic team in 2020.
