    Team USA Olympian and the most decorated U.S. gymnast of all-time, Simone Biles , is going viral on Wednesday for an odd yet legendary reason.

    Biles just ended her Olympic campaign in Paris in epic fashion. Biles finished with three gold and one silver medal. At 27 years of age, she now has the most medals in United States gymnastics history, with seven gold, two silver, and two bronze medals.

    Which is the main reason she went viral Wednesday, August 21st, which is reportedly World "Goat" Day , and NBC Olympics & Paralympics acknowledged her for it. Surpassing 41,000 views in just a few hours of being posted.

    The caption read, "It wouldn't be #WorldGoatDay without Simone Biles."

    For anyone who is struggling to comprehend the reasoning behind this. "Goat" is often a term used for "Greatest of all-time." which Biles surely can hold the title for. Her legacy is already cemented but if she wants to add to her jewelry collection, she'll have that opportunity in a few years.

    Her accomplishments have been extraordinary and with the Olympics taking place in Los Angeles in 2028, she will have the opportunity to shoot for the most medals of all-time. She trails former Soviet Union gymnast Larisa Latynina by seven total medals for the most in the world.
