Simone Biles celebrated becoming the first Olympic gymnast in United States history to win six gold medals with some fitting jewelry for the Greatest of All Time.
The nine-time Olympic medalist showed off a GOAT necklace Thursday after claiming gold in the individual women’s all-around in Paris.

Biles won Thursday’s all-around after totaling 59.131 points, 1.199 more than silver medalist and Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrane. She also won gold in the same event at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
The victory came days after Biles helped lead the Americans to another gold medal in the team competition despite competing with tape on her calf after suffering an injury in qualifiers.
Biles, 27, is the oldest gymnast to win the all-around since 1952. She is also the first Olympic gymnast to win multiple titles since 1968, and the first ever to claim gold in the event at non-consecutive competitions.
With nine total medals, including gold in the team, all-around, vault, and floor competitions at the 2016 Rio Games as well as silver and bronze medals from Tokyo 2020, Biles is the most decorated men’s or women’s gymnast ever to represent the United States in Olympic competition.
Given that Biles has a record 23 gold medals in world competition and five gymnastics skills named after her, it makes sense that she decided to add a GOAT necklace to her stack of Olympic medals.
