If it’s true, then it’s not bragging, right?
Simone Biles spoke to the BBC on Thursday, shortly after winning his sixth overall gold medal and second all-around title at the Summer Olympics.
When the topic turned to a certain piece of jewelry around her neck, the 27-year-old star simply told what it was.
Critics be damned.
“It’s a little ode, I mean a lot of people love it and they always call me the goat, so I thought if I made a necklace it would be really special,” she said of it which you can watch above Said when the necklace arrived.
It is in the shape of a goat.
In sports terminology, this animal/term is often used to describe someone who is the greatest of all time at what he or she does.

Three years ago, during the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Biles had to withdraw from a competition due to “twisting” symptoms, a condition that afflicts gymnasts who are unsure of where their bodies are as they flip and twist in the air. .
Of course, this can be very dangerous, as it means they’re also not sure when or how to land.
At the time, many ignorant idiots around the world lashed out at Biles, calling her a terrible teammate and mentally weak.
Biles made clear this week that she heard the criticism.
Look at her now, guys. She deserves to be at the top of the sports world.
“My goat necklace is like an ode to it because people love it and people hate it, so it’s like the best of both worlds,” the superstar told reporters at a press conference after the all-around final.
“I was like, OK, if this goes well, I’m going to wear a goat necklace and I know people are going to be crazy about it.
“But in the end, it yes I’m crazy because I still think I’m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, who loves flips.
