Simone’s G.O.A.T. emoji

Twitter is launching a new GOAT (aka “greatest of all time”) emoji specifically for the 24-year-old Olympian on Wednesday.

It will populate automatically when Twitter users post messages with the hashtags “#SimoneBiles” or “#Simone” throughout the Olympic Games, which kick off Friday and continue through August 8.
