Simone Biles’s Leotard Confirms She’s the Greatest of All Time as She Nails Historic Vault
Simone Biles is proudly embracing her status as one of the greatest gymnasts the world has ever seen. During the 2021 GK US Classic on May 22, Biles made history as she nailed a Yurchenko double pike 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 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 ahead.
