GWANGJU, South Korea (Reuters) - Much has changed for Joseph Schooling since the 2016 Rio Games, where he beat American great Michael Phelps in the 100 metres butterfly final to become Singapore's first Olympic gold medallist.

Returning to the city-state from his Texas base earlier this year, the 24-year-old has swapped his carefree college days for living back at home with his parents, a huge transition that he says he is still trying to adjust to.
