“We ended it on a good note for Marta”, Biles said after winning a record-equaling fourth gold at the Rio Games.
“This was absolutely redemption, not only for me but for the team as well”, Leyva said.
Aly Raisman, Biles’ teammate, is taking home a team gold and silvers in floor exercises and all-around. Speaking of gold, the USA continues to rack up an impressive number of medals, with 84 total after Day 11 on Tuesday.
Biles said Boorman knows how she feels whenever she walks into the gym because they have known each other for so long. The third place went to Great Britain’s Amy Tinkler.
The Neighbors and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates star had been reaching out to Biles during the Summer Olympics over social media after learning about the star gymnast’s crush from The Ellen Show. But a mistake in her balance beam performance cost her the title of the first gymnast to win five gold medals.
“When I was walking up my legs felt like rocks, but I’ve done floor routines like that before so I wasn’t nervous about it”, said Biles after taking part in her fifth final at Rio with exhausted legs.
Romania earned no medals in gymnastics at the Rio Games, the first time since 1972 they have left an Olympics empty-handed in a sport they have often dominated. He was even more confident after seeing his score of 15.900.
The Leotard wouldn’t be the first weird Efron-themed paraphernalia for Biles, who has her own life-size cutout of the actor in her bedroom.
The medals gave the American women nine during the meet, the most ever by the U.S.at an Olympics.
“Maybe I’m getting better with age”, she said. But Biles never let on, flipping through the air as if she were romping in a moon bounce at a birthday party, daring herself to fly higher each time.
“It’s kind of scary with this public eye being on me all the time”, Biles said.
Leyva was called to represent the U.S.in Rio after John Orozco suffered torn knee ligaments in training. Miami-native Leyva did his best to make up for that with an exciting last day of competition, claiming two silvers, first for the parallel bars, and then for the horizontal bar.

“It’s fantastic, obviously. I’m really happy for Laura”, Kenny said as said in CelebrityInsider.
