US Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, 24, recently claimed she has evolved a lot since her gold medal-winning feat at the 2016 Rio Games. 


Biles, who has won a total of 30 Olympic and world championship medals, said she has grown as a person and is now vocal on social media.  


“Goodness. I feel like one, I’m not a little girl anymore. I feel like I’ve really found my voice and kind of use that for good in the world and on social media platforms. So that’s been a big plus,” said Biles, when asked how she has changed as a person and athlete in the past five years, during a virtual event recently. 


She added: “And then the deciding factors after Rio: I moved out, I live on my own now. I have a house. I have a dog. I feel like I’ve just grown and had so much growth over the years that’s why I am the young woman I am today. Obviously, gymnastics has helped shape me and the people around, but it’s been a big change. But I’m really excited about life and what’s to come and how I’ve changed and evolved as a person.”
