‘Haters hate it, so I love that even more’: Simone Biles explains goat pendant backstory

• Gymnastics star wore pendant after winning gold
• Pendant reportedly has 546 diamonds

Simone Biles has said the goat pendant she wore after winning her sixth Olympic gold medal, and her second of the Paris Games, was a reminder of those who doubted her.

It's a little ode [the goat pendant] ... I mean, a lot of people love it. They always call me the GOAT [greatest of all time], so I thought it would be really special if I got one made," she said after completing her victory at Bercy Arena. The haters hate it, so I love that even more. It's just a special part of me that I have here. In the [Olympic] village I have a stuffed goat. Just to get a reminder. Like: You can go out there, you can do it. You've done it before. So let's go.'"
