Simone Biles closed her Rio Games with more gymnastics gold. Raisman told Joyce she would consider it.
Aly Raisman may be the oldest member of the US women’s gymnastics team, but she may not be ready to hang up her leotard just yet!
“I came out here to qualify”, Bolt said, “and that’s what I did”.
But she told him, “Hey Zac Efron, I think we need you at the team finals; because we’ll all get to be there”.
And her youngest teammate, 16-year-old Laurie Hernandez, posted her own selfie, and a picture of her, Biles and Efron with their fellow gymnasts Aly Rasiman, Gabby Douglas, and Madison Kocian.
Biles won the event to complete a historic run in Rio where she won five medals in eight days.

WOMEN’S SOCCER: One day after a Brazilian pulled off an upset to win the men’s pole vault Monday night, the women’s soccer team lost to Sweden in a shootout. After her unbelievable outcome in the 2016 Rio games, the gold medalist got candid about her future in a new interview and we are FREAKING out over what she had to say! She brought home an individual silver medal in the 50m freestyle, plus another gold and silver in the 4x100m freestyle and 4x100m medley relays.
She becomes the fifth woman to win four gold at the same Games joining Hungarian Agnes Keleti (1956), Soviet Larissa Latynina (1956), Czech Vera Caslavska (1968) and Romanian Ecaterina Szabo (1984).

Leyva won silvers in both the parallel bars and high bar Tuesday, giving the US a total of 12 gymnastics medals in Rio, second to the 16 earned at the Eastern bloc-boycotted 1984 Games. There’s no worry about Allyson Felix, the reigning Olympic champ, because she didn’t qualify at Olympic trials.
