Gold medallist Simone Biles of United States celebrates with her medal.If anyone needed any confirmation about Simone Biles' standing in gymnastics, the sparkling Goat necklace she slipped on and ecstatically showed off to a TV camera after she sealed the all around title at the Paris Olympics on Thursday verified her status as the greatest of all-time.
"My Goat necklace is kind of an ode ... it is crazy that I am in the conversation of greatest of all athletes because I still just think that I'm Simone Biles from Spring, Texas who loves to flip," said the American who owns a jaw-dropping 39 world and Olympic medals. On the uneven bars, Biles got too much air on her flip as she transitioned from the higher to the lower bar and had to bend both knees to avoid touching the ground.
"It was really cool, knowing that I made her work, right?" Andrade said of Biles. "It's an honour to be able to compete next to her."
