Simone Biles, the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history, recently showed off a custom-made white gold necklace with a diamond-covered goat pendant, symbolizing her nickname as the “Greatest Of All Time.” The necklace, created by jeweler Janet Heller, features 546 diamonds and was a surprise for Biles, who proudly displayed it on the podium. Biles explained that the necklace is a response to both fans who love it and haters who criticize it, motivating her to excel in her competitions. This is not the first time Biles has incorporated the goat into her wardrobe, as she previously wore a bedazzled goat leotard in 2021. Heller, who described working with Biles as an honor, has declined requests to recreate the necklace, emphasizing its one-of-a-kind nature.
Despite the attention on her necklace, Biles remains focused on her remaining events in Paris, including the vault on Saturday and balance beam and floor finals on Monday. She has leaned on the goat symbol as a source of inspiration and motivation, reminding herself to believe in her abilities and past achievements. Biles continues to captivate audiences with her exceptional talent and dedication to the sport, solidifying her legacy as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.
