Simone Biles gets five gold rings—Is she the greatest gymnast of all time, or is there competition?

Simone Biles once again proved why she’s the GOAT at the Paris Olympics, grabbing four medals—three gold and a silver—while shutting down any doubts after her bittersweet Tokyo experience. To celebrate her achievements, DesignsBySantwon, a championship ring designer, came forward with some serious bling.

They designed five custom gold rings, each created to honor Simone and her Paris performance. One ring had “Biles” engraved in front of the Eiffel Tower, while another featured her name with the colors of the American flag. The designer hoped to gift these rings to Simone, saying, “This concept, should the Queen accept, would be 100% GIFTED✨ REAL GOLD for the REAL DEAL🙌🏿.”

One standout ring featured 5 custom-cut stone letters layered over an S-shaped flag, with a 3D GOAT crowned like the Statue of Liberty, its horns curving toward a picture of Simone beneath the Olympic rings—truly GOAT status. The company encouraged fans to tag Simone in the comments, hoping the epic gift would make its way to her!

DesignsBySantwon was successful in its pursuit, as Simone Biles commented within an hour of the post being uploaded with a shocked reaction, “😱😱😱😱” It is unclear when the gymnast will receive the rings now that she’s embarking on the Gold Over America tour. But it is a great gift to her for her achievements. The company has designed rings for numerous other competition-winning teams.

Numerous other teams have designed their rings from the company. This includes numerous cheerleading teams like the Sassycats, who became eight-time NCA All-Star National Champions. Roosevelt University, who won the NCA Collegiate National Championship in 2024, the 2024 NHSCC National Champions High School Bobcats, and Team Australia, who won the 2024 ICU World title, are some of their other clients.

However, they won’t be taking any compensation for the rings presented to Simone Biles and want to gift them to her for her incredible achievements. This continues the long list of people who have congratulated and paid tribute to Simone Biles after her incredible Paris Olympics campaign. This list includes not only fans of the gymnast but also celebrities who can’t seem to get enough of her either.
