IT’S hard to tell whether US Olympic gymnast Simone Biles was more elated to have won a haul of gold medals or to get a kiss from her childhood crush, Zac Efron.

After racking up one of the most impressive records in Olympic history, Needham’s Aly Raisman and the rest of the USA gymnastics team will again showcase their talents in Boston this November.
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.
Then, sitting beside teammate Simone Biles for an interview with Bob Costas, Raisman said again she would consider continuing her career. As she’s shot to fame, Biles hasn’t just been winning medals, but interacting with some of her favourite stars. However, she’s still a 19 year-old girl, and over the years has made no secret of her undying love for hunky actor Zac Efron.
The 22-year-old athlete added: “Proud of you Simone!” What she didn’t know is that she would actually get a kiss from her crush.
Simone and a life-size Zac Efron.
Zac Efron may have a little competition when it comes to wooing Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles. AP writer Will Graves shared on Twitter what Biles said to media members: “I think you guys want (five golds) more than I do. I can’t believe I have six Olympic medals so it doesn’t feel real”, she said.
She trained at Exxcel Gymnastics and Climbing through Level 8, when she moved to Brestyan’s American Gymnastics Club under coaches Mihai and Silvia Brestyan. She’s the pint sized US Olympian who’s doing big things in the gymnastics arena.
And he kissed her back.
