Win or lose, Simone Biles has already claimed a slice of history at the Tokyo Olympics. The reigning all-around champion—long-regarded as the greatest gymnast of all time—has become the first athlete to be awarded their own emoji on Twitter. 

The social media platform announced on Wednesday that it had given Biles her own emoji—a goat wearing a leotard and a gold medal. The symbol is a reference to Biles’s status as the “GOAT: Greatest Of All Time”—a tag the Olympian has embraced in recent years. “Witness greatness. Tweet with greatness,” the official Twitter Sports account wrote in announcing the emoji.
