Staley’s post featured a quote from Biles made as part of her 2016 Teen Vogue cover story ahead of her first Olympics in Rio. Before her first Olympics, Biles highlighted her physique as an advantage.
“I was built this way for a reason, so I’m going to use it,” Biles said.
At 19, Biles made history at the Rio Olympics, becoming the first American female gymnast to win four gold medals in a single Games. She claimed gold in the all-around, vault, floor exercise and team events, along with a bronze in the balance beam.
In total, Biles has earned 11 Olympic medals: seven gold, two silver and two bronze.
