Simone Biles is embracing one of her most popular nicknames while competing at the 2024 Summer Olympics!
Hours after winning her third gold medal in Paris (and the seventh Olympic gold medal in her career) on Saturday, Aug. 3, Biles, 27, gave her followers a behind-the-scenes look at how her bedroom in the Olympic village is decorated.
In one photo shared on her Instagram Stories, Biles showed off her bedroom wall decor — a cutout of a white goat with horns on its head.
She also had a brown goat stuffed animal propped up against pillows on her bed.
The gymnast’s decor is a nod to the fact that she’s often called “the G.O.A.T.” — an acronym that stands for “the greatest of all time.”

Biles — who married NFL star Jonathan Owens in April 2023 — recently hinted that she might be open to competing in another Olympic Games in the future.
When asked at a press conference after the individual vault final if that competition was the last time fans would see her vault in competition, she replied, “This is my last, definitely Yurchenko double pike[vault]. I mean I kind of nailed that one. So never say never.”
