Simone Biles is embracing one of her most popular nicknames as she competes in the 2024 Summer Olympics!
Hours after winning her third gold medal in Paris (and the seventh Olympic gold medal of her career) on Saturday, August 3, Biles, 27, gave her followers a behind-the-scenes look at what her decorated Olympic village bedroom looks like.
In one photo she 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 stuffed goat propped up against the pillows on the bed.
The gymnast’s decor is a nod to the fact that she is often called “GOAT” — an acronym that means “the greatest of all time.”

Biles — who married NFL star Jonathan Owens in April 2023 — recently hinted that she may compete in other Olympics in the future.
When asked at the press conference after the individual vault final if that competition was the last time fans saw her vault in competition, she replied: “This is my last, definitely Yurchenko’s double jump[vault]. I mean, I kind of guessed that. So never say never.”
