Simone Biles—aka my favorite gymnast, like, ever—has officially landed in Paris for the big event. This week, she gave her fans a tour of her Olympic Village bedroom in an Instagram story, and out of all the things, I could focus on (like her cool collection of Nike sneakers), I was starstruck by one item in particular: the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Olympic Ring throw laid out front and center. What can I say? I'm all about repping Team USA, especially if it involves a super plush blanket. So you can imagine my surprise (and total delight) when I learned that this special edition version of PureWow editors' favorite CozyChic blanket wasn't just an exclusive for Olympic athletes—it's actually part of a patriotic collection that we mere mortals can shop right now.

Barefoot Dreams

Biles's exact Olympic throw—which I can bet is definitely making her cardboard bed more comfy—is available at Dillard's for $198. Just so you know, while explaining the pros of buying the original Barefoot Dreams throw (currently on sale at Nordstrom for as low as $105), Senior Editor Dana Dickey said "[It's] generously proportioned, [and] its knit fabrication has just enough give to seem like it’s hugging you." Meanwhile, Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay raved, "It's soft, warm and stretchy, while still being incredibly lightweight. On that note, it's no wonder even Joanna Gaines has called it her "adult baby blanket." Yep, this throw deserves *all* the gold medals.

The difference between the original and the Olympic version? The design! The original blanket comes in solids and more minimalist patterns, so if you hate loud prints, it has your name written all over it. The special edition Olympic throws, which also include a Stars and Stripes version ($198), feature the *official* logo of the games, along with bold American flag designs to take things up a notch.

All three Barefoot Dream throw blankets.

Barefoot Dreams

If you ask me, you can't go wrong with any of 'em, especially since they're all made of that addictively soft microfiber material that everyone can't stop talking about. Not to mention, all of these Barefoot Dreams blankets are generously sized, measuring 54 inches by 72 inches, so you can snuggle up with the whole fam while streaming the games.

If you're pumped about the Olympics, which kick off on July 26, there's really no better way to cheer on Biles (and all our other favorite members of Team USA) than from under one of these cozy throws. It'll be a win-win-win—you know, when she claims victory after getting the best night's sleep.
