Simone Biles's Leotard Confirms She's the Greatest of All Time as She Nails Historic Vault

23/05/2021 - 11:53 PM

Simone Biles is proudly embracing her status as one of the greatest gymnasts [1] the world has ever seen. During the 2021 GK US Classic on May 22, Biles made history as she nailed a Yurchenko double pike [2] on vault — a skill no woman ever attempted in previous competitions. Such a historic event called for a memorable leotard to match, and Simone wore one with an appropriate "GOAT" message.

The long-sleeve rhinestone-encrusted one-piece comes from GK Elite athleticwear, the brand behind apparel worn by other standout gymnasts, like Laurie Hernandez [3] and Katelyn Ohashi. Eagle-eyed fans will notice a goat displayed on Biles's back, representing her status as the "greatest of all time." This symbol also hints at her post-Olympic plans, when she'll be taking the Gold Over America Tour (GOAT) to empower the next generation of women in athletics. Get a closer look at Biles's leotard — and her unforgettable vault — in the photos and video ahead.
