Afterward winning her third gold, Biles tweeted a simple yet strong statement: “dreams DO come true”. And conversely, we know Zac Efron is a huge fan of Biles and the USA women’s gymnastics – he traveled to Rio on Tuesday to personally meet them, and they were understandably ecstatic.

Though we are literally no experts. He even took to twitter to wish her good luck prior to the US Olympic Trials.
He had just kissed gold medalist Simone Biles on the cheek, but perhaps Zac Efron should have considered if she had a boyfriend? Particularly when that crush flies all the way to Rio to meet her.
Why doesn’t he ever just turn up anywhere in our vicinity?
Zac had surprised the women of the United States Gymnastics team during an interview with Today on Tuesday night.
Simone has apparently held a longstanding penchant for Zac.
Efron was kept hidden – “I totally have butterflies right now”, he said – until the whole team was brought into a room. Feel free to send Zac our way any time you like, Ms Kotb!
She becomes the fifth woman, after Ecaterina Szabo, Vera Caslavska, Agnes Keleti and Larisa Latynina, to claim four gymnastics golds in one Games.
And now he’s a huge fan of Biles and her teammates, adding he felt compelled to hop on a plane bound for Rio, “Their story just blew my mind”.
In addition to a gold medal in the team competition, Raisman took home a silver medal in the individual all-around and floor exercise, both times finishing behind Biles.
But then, after she and teammate Aly Raisman finished competing on Tuesday, Efron showed up in Rio and surprised the Final Five. “I’m too exhausted. I’d rather get a good night sleep”.
Biles’ fans know the gymnast has a soft spot for the actor. “Todays” show host Hoda Kotb arranged the actors’ visit to Rio which drove the rest of the Olympic winners’ nuts.
Even Simone Biles was blown away by Simone Biles.
“I’m shaking”, Biles said. “And [then] I started watching all the gymnastics”.

Surely Zac didn’t think he would skate off with the most decorated female American gymnast at Rio without any competition.
