Simone Biles says the GOAT nickname for "haters" is a goat necklace.

Simone Biles doesn't mind being hated. Rather, the haters fuel her desire to be the best gymnast she can be.

The Olympic champion proved this while talking about her goat-shaped diamond necklace after winning yet another gold medal in the gymnastics all-around final in Paris on Thursday. The necklace is an ironic reference to her nickname, GOAT, meaning the strongest ever.

"It's kind of an ode. I mean, a lot of people love this necklace and they always call me the GOAT, so I thought if I could get it made it would be really special," Biles told the BBC, People reported. "There's also one in the village, like a stuffed goat, that reminds me, 'You can get out there, you can do it, you've done it before, so let's go'"

.

After Thursday's victory, Biles held up the iconic pendant to the camera, superimposing it on his latest gold medal, which is of course another important accessory.

The necklace, courtesy of Jamie Heller Fine Jewelry, features a whopping 546 diamonds.

This is not the first time this week that Biles has shown that she does not mind being disliked. In fact, after the U.S. team won the women's gymnastics team final on Tuesday, she captioned an Instagram photo celebrating her victory, "No talent, lazy, Olympic champion."

Fans quickly interpreted the caption as a rebuke to former teammate Mykayla Skinner's recent comment about the lack of "work ethic" among American gymnasts. Later, Biles also tweeted that he was "blocked."

Anyway, big congrats to Team USA!
