Simone Biles knows it’s the thought that counts — even if the numbers don’t add up!

 

After a night out during Labor Day weekend, Biles, 27, posted an Instagram Stories video of a sign that didn’t have the correct number of Olympic gold medals she has won. “11X GOLD MEDALIST,” read the lit-up sign, which club employees held up among sparklers and bottles.

She posted the video of the moment on Saturday, Aug. 31, writing her correct medal count: “*7x gold medalist … *11x olympic medalist. they were close, still super sweet.” Biles clarified, adding a white heart emoji.
