The 2024 Paris Olympics ended nearly a month ago, but we will never get over Simone Biles’ breathtaking performances. As usual, this superstar athlete swept the floor with her moves, bringing her total to 11 Olympic medals — seven gold, two silver, and two bronze. Between all of these medals, and becoming the first to pull off a move now called The Biles, it’s no wonder that Simone Biles wears a goat necklace.
Okay, so that might not make much sense if you aren’t aware of the acronym G.O.A.T. It means “greatest of all time” and is used to praise talented folks. This can include talented folks from all backgrounds, like musicians, actors, and athletes. This alone clears up any confusion as to why Biles would wear a necklace like this. But the full story behind what inspired Biles to wear it is absolutely hilarious. Find out why from the Olympic star herself in the video below!
