More gold has been draped around the neck of Simone Biles.
But this wasn't an Olympic medal. It was a gold chain featuring a Benny the Bull pendant.
The legendary gymnast attended the Chicago Bulls game with her husband, Jonathan Owens of the Chicago Bears, on Thursday at the United Center. The two received a warm welcome from the team's mascot, who gave them customized Bulls jerseys and some bling.
"a GOAT, a Bear, and a Bull," Benny the Bull posted on social media with video of their interaction.

Biles is a three-time Olympian with 11 medals, including seven gold. She has attended multiple Bears games this season to support Owens, a safety who signed with the team earlier this year.
The two sat courtside on Thursday, with Biles sporting knee-high red boots, to watch the Bulls take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
