Simone Biles reveals ‘iconic’ necklace following historic gold medal at 2024 Olympics, sending supporters into chaos.
The 27-year-old, who took home another gold medal in the gymnastics all-around event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, showed off some new bling after the historic win.
She was seen flashing a silver necklace featuring a tiny, diamond goat pendant during the NBC broadcast.
‘Simone’s goat necklace is the greatest thing ever,’ one viewer wrote on X.
‘Winning the gold, becoming the most decorated gymnast and then immediately pulling out a GOAT necklace is the most gangster s**t lol,’ another chimed in.
A third wrote, ‘Simone pulls out a necklace with a very blingy goat. Yes, yes she is.’
On Thursday evening, Biles added another gold medal to her collection after coming out on top in the all-around competition.
Her USA teammate, Suni Lee, picked up a bronze medal after a sensational effort on the floor, with Brazil’s Rebecca Andrade taking silver.
Biles, who became the most decorated American gymnast of all time by capturing gold in Tuesday’s teams finals, overcame a rare error in the uneven bars to land the ninth medal of her Olympic career.
The Texas native recovered with outstanding performances on the beam and floor to see off competition from Andrade and cement her legacy as USA’s all-time great.
She pulled off her latest feat with proud husband Jonathan Owens – who was granted time off from the Chicago Bears training camp to travel to Europe – watching on from the stands.
In the second rotation of the event, Biles was left fuming after botching a transition on the uneven bars, which saw her briefly surrender the lead to Andrade.
She was visibly irritated as she made her way off the podium, with replays appearing to show her mouthing to her coach: ‘F**k’.
However, the Olympic legend soon proved why she is one of the best to ever do it by scoring 14.566 on the beam and 15.066 to snatch the victory from Andrade.
It comes amid Biles’ ongoing feud with her ex-teammate, MyKayla Skinner, which came to a head after the USA won gold in the teams finals.
Biles posted a photo of herself, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Jade Carey and Lee holding a USA flag in the air alongside the caption, ‘lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions.’
It was a reference to Skinner, who recently sparked controversy by questioning the current American squad’s ‘work ethic’ and dedication to their craft.
Following the Instagram dig, Chiles revealed that Biles has now been blocked by Skinner on Instagram.
