Simone Biles won two golds at the Paris Olympics, including the team all-around finals and the all-around individual. Following her individual gold win, where she scored 59.131, the gymnast pulled out a silver-colored goat necklace. Moments after this, she was honored with a gold medal for the win.

Following this incident, in a post-event interview, Biles revealed that the pendant is just an ode, and deep down, she still feels that she is the girl from Texas who loves to flip.

"My goat necklace is just kind of an ode because some people love it and some hate it," Biles said. "So, it's like the best of both worlds. I was like, 'Okay, if it goes well, we'll wear the goat necklace. I know people will go crazy over it."

Expressing her emotions about being counted among the greatest of all athletes, she added:

"At the end of the day, it is crazy that I am in the conversation of greatest of all athletes, because, I still think I'm Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, that loves to flip."

Biles defeated Rebecca Andrade in the all-around finals, where the latter scored 57.932 to secure second place. Biles' teammate, Suni Lee, claimed third place after she scored 56.465 points.
