During the competition, Jordan Chiles, who is a member of Biles' team, was sitting in the audience. However, she later made her way to the competition floor with a specific goal in mind: to make sure Biles remembered to wear her Goat Necklace. Once Biles had the necklace on, the two of them excitedly jumped up and down to celebrate.

What is the reason behind Simone Biles wearing a goat pendant?
Because she is the best of all time!
During the press conference after the competition, Biles was asked about the necklace. She explained that the GOAT necklace represents a mixed reaction from people - some love it, some hate it. She decided to wear it as a way to embrace both perspectives. Biles anticipated that the necklace would create a buzz, and she was prepared for the reaction it would receive.
Biles had a necklace specially designed for her by Janet Heller.
