When Simone Biles included a bedazzled goat as part of her leotard for the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, she was looking to carry a larger message.
Biles said in an interview with Marie Claire that she wanted to "hit back at the haters." She added that she wanted to show younger athletes that it's OK to embrace one's own greatness:
"I just hope that kids growing up watching this don't or aren't ashamed of being good at whatever they do. And that's my problem: when people kind of harp on other people that are good at something.
