After Biles' recent win, she mentioned that three years ago, she thought she'd never step foot on a gym mat again.
\"Super proud of my performance tonight, couldn't be prouder, \" she said.

In addition to winning big at the women's gymnastics individual all-around competition, Biles also struck gold with fellow Team USA stars Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera in the women's team competition.
With that win, Biles became the most-decorated American gymnast in history -- breaking a tie with the Shannon Miller for most overall medals.
This isn't the first time Biles has proclaimed her G.O.A.T. status. In 2021, she wore a leotard embellished with a dazzling goat for the U.S. Gymnastics Championships.
She told Marie Claire at the time that the custom look was a way of hitting back at haters.
\"I didn't feel like it was necessarily fair how they could keep saying whatever they wanted, but then if I said something, it wasn't fair, \" she said. \"[The haters] were joking like, 'I swear, if she put a goat on her leo, blah, blah, blah.\"
She added, \"That would make them so angry. And then I was like, 'Oh, that's actually a good idea. Let's make the haters hate it, and the fans love it.' And so that's exactly what we did and why we did it.\"
