Six-time medalist and team captain Aly Raisman, who picked up silvers at the individual all-around and the floor exercise, spent almost two years training for the Olympics, which means she’s been going to sleep at 9:00 p.m. every night.

Simone’s first public confession regarding her admiration of Zac surfaced back in March, when the Olympian appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. For the past three years, she has been unshakable, unflappable. “And [then] I started watching all the gymnastics”.
In addition to the team all-around gold medal, Biles took home medals in 4 individual events: Gold medals in the floor exercise, vault and individual all-around; and a bronze medal in the balance beam.
Today host Hoda Kotb helped orchestrate the surprise meeting between Efron and the USA women’s gymnastics team. Raisman won a team gold, all-around silver and floor silver in Rio, while Leyva picked up silvers on the parallel bars and horizontal bar. “I was kind of getting nervous myself”, he told Kotb and Matt Lauer on Today. All she has to do is ask good friend and “Final Five” teammate Aly Raisman. “We’ll see”, she said.
The gymnastic competitions came to a close in Rio on Tuesday, but not before the American delegation claimed a few more medals. Do you think these two will hang out once they are both back in the states?!
While Efron proved to be Biles’ No. 1 fan, he’s not the only celebrity who can’t get enough of the Olympics.
Later on, Efron congratulated Biles for her all-star performance during the qualifying rounds on Twitter.

Raisman clarified that it was just “cool” that they got to meet Efron, but Biles followed it up with a great side-eye. “I thought I was in the best shape of my life in 2012 and it’s even better here, so maybe I just get better with age”, she continued. They watched the video where they first met Efron, which shows teammate Laurie Hernandez hugged him first. Last week, he tweeted a picture of him making a heart shape with his hands while he’s standing in front of a giant photo of Biles and her team mates.
