COLUMBUS, Ohio — It would be easy to look at Simone Biles’ gymnastics and say little has changed in the nearly two years since she dominated the Rio Olympics.
Her comeback began with a win at the U.S. Classic on Saturday, and a widening gap remains between Biles and her competition.
But since she claimed five Olympic medals, much has changed for Biles, a 21-year-old gymnast learning to be a young woman in a sport for girls, a powerhouse finding her voice amid the biggest abuse crisis in sports history and a competitor making a second Olympic run on her own terms above anyone else’s.
