The 19-year-old from Texas has become the success story of the Rio Olympics, scooping up gold medals in the floor, vault and all-round competitions.
Adria is too a gymnast, just like her big sis; could Adria Biles go to the Olympics?
If not for Biles’ for-the-ages performances, fellow American gymnast Aly Raisman would have scooped up the gold on the floor, instead Raisman added a silver to her total collection of three from these Games.
Biles’ bid for a record-breaking five golds ended on Monday when she had to settle for bronze on the balance beam. After being spotted touching down at the airport in Brazil, Zac seemed to head straight to where Simone was competing for a sweet meet-up.
He posted a regram of Simone’s photo on Instagram with the caption: ‘@zacefron I saw her first…
Efron voiced his support for the athletes and flew out to Rio to cheer them on as they dominated the discipline. “She nearly started crying but then she got it together”.
The former Disney star tweeted a pic with the Olympians on Tuesday, captioning it, “My Olympic dream came true”. As commentators look on in awe, Biles wipes the floor with some explosive moves. “She is my girl”, he wrote along with a picture of him tightly squeezing and kissing the petite gymnast. “I’m too exhausted. I’d rather get a good night sleep”.
