The 27-year-old claimed her third gold in Paris on Saturday, winning the vault to take her overall Olympics tally to seven golds.
Her astounding achievements come just three years after she famously imploded in Tokyo, suffering from the debilitating mental block known as the “twisties.”
Hailed by many for prioritising her mental health, some also criticised Biles as a quitter three years ago.
As she burnishes an Olympic legacy launched with four golds in Rio, Biles has noticed the critics are silent.
“They’re really quiet now, so that’s strange,” she said with a laugh after winning vault gold.
Biles admits she is “getting old” but is tempted to compete in her home Olympic Games in Los Angeles in four years’ time.
