Simone Biles<\/strong><\/a> revealed that she gathers inspiration from all kinds of places\u2014even her haters.<\/p>\n In an interview on Thursday, August 1, at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the artistic Olympian, 27, said that she was motivated to get her necklace with a goat pendant due to naysayers not liking her being celebrated as the \u2018Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T).\u2019<\/p>\n The 27-year-old now has a total of nine Olympic medals\u2014six gold, one silver, and two bronze\u2014along with her 30 World Championship medals. So, for the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history, it seemed fitting to solidify her impressive achievements with new jewelry handed to her by her teammate Jordan Chiles<\/strong><\/a>, which she then displayed proudly.<\/p>\n jordan giving simone her goat necklace \ud83d\ude2d\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffe pic.twitter.com\/j2py0b5KVX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 \u064e (@ungodlywests) August 1, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cMy goat necklace is just kind of an ode, because the people love it and then some people hate it, so it\u2019s like the best of both worlds.

In the village, I have a stuffed goat as a reminder: \u2018You can go out there, you can do it, you\u2019ve done it before, so let\u2019s go.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Simone Biles x Janet Heller#SimoneBiles<\/a> with her custom GOAT necklace by #JanetHeller<\/a> Fine Jewelry for the #OlympicGames<\/a> in #Paris2024<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/CMJb2o98DX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 celebrity style & fashion news (@__dicarlo) August 1, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n On Tuesday, after their team final win, Biles brushed off her eye-popping numbers.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t keep count, I don\u2019t keep stats,\u201d she said. \u201cI just go out here and do what I\u2019m supposed to, and I\u2019m doing what I love and enjoying it, so that\u2019s really all that matters to me.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cYes, it\u2019s amazing, now that I hear it, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll truly understand the depth of it until I walk away from the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n Biles reiterated, \u201c[At] the end of the day, it is crazy that I\u2019m in the conversation of greatest of all time athletes because I still think I\u2019m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, that loves to flip.\u201d<\/p>\n Biles won the all-around competition for a second time<\/a>, after previously earning gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
