Simone Biles REVEALS Why She REALLY Wore A GOAT Leotard While Competing!
Welcome back to Sports Dive, today on the channel we are going to find out Why Does Simone Biles Wear a GOAT Leotard While Competing? It began with a text message from Simone Biles. She had a golden idea for the design of her gymnastics leotard, one that would create a uniform unlike any other worn by a professional athlete. It was a fashion statement, of course, but also a declarative one. Having already won four Olympic gold medals and seven national titles, and having turned gymnastics into a “Who’s finishing second?” competition by defying the laws of physics in ways never before seen, Biles’ position in the sport was already determined: Greatest. Of. All. Time.
And as the GOAT of her sport, Biles embraced that self-assured and widely-recognized statement by placing the image of a goat on her leotard. “I just hope that kids growing up watching this don’t or aren’t ashamed of being good at whatever they do,” Biles said of the goat leotard in a recent interview with Marie Claire. “And that’s my problem: when people kind of harp on other people that are good at something. And it’s like, everybody can say you’re good, but once you acknowledge it, it’s not cool anymore. And I want kids to learn that, yes, it’s okay to acknowledge that you’re good or even great at something.” Inside the Pennsylvania headquarters of GK Elite, which designs and manufactures leotards and apparel for Biles and the United States women’s and men’s National Teams, a day that had been business as usual suddenly was anything but after Kelly Christman’s cell phone lit up with the text from Biles. A goat? Christman, the company’s vice president of gymnastics product, quickly relayed the request to the design team. Amid the excitement over the company’s GOAT-requested assignment, there was initial back-and-forth over whether the image would be too brazen, too presumptuous. But Biles earned the right to be bold when she won gold, and that was all the justification she needed when asked why she wanted the goat on her leotard.
