Much of the interview focused on how Biles, 19, and Efron exchanged several tweets before he was flown to Rio de Janeiro by the “Today” show to surprise the team.

Turns out Zac saw the segment and tweeted her in July wishing her good luck on the Olympic trials.
She’s carried a torch for Zac since she was a child, admitting she even has a life-size cardboard cutout of him in her bedroom which she used to “kiss on the cheek”. So either click on those above links and come back, or just take my word for it: Simone Biles is the GOAT.
Raisman graduated from Needham High School in 2012, after completing her senior year via online classes while training for the Olympics.[8] She committed to compete for the University of Florida, but later chose to pursue a professional gymnastics career instead.
After a bronze and silver at the last two Olympics, flamboyant showman Fabian Hambuechen was finally leaping with joy as he became the first German gymnast in 20 years to strike gold with an electrifying routine on the horizontal bar. It came as a surprise for Biles when after receiving her fifth Olympic Gold Medal, Efron congratulated her personally through his presence in Rio.
But Efron might be an even bigger fan of Biles.
Leyva ended his Olympics on a high note after an overall disappointing outcome for the US men’s gymnastic team in Rio. And it’s definitely more than likely that she has her own set of keys to the place: According to The Undefeated, Biles’ parents actually opened their own gym, the World Champions Centre outside of Houston, as a home gym for Simone, in 2014.
But her result reflected the effort, throwing off her dream of a record five gold medals at the same Games.
“If you had asked me a few months ago I would have definitely said I was done and I think Mihai Brestyan [her coach] would have said the same thing”.
“Trust me; I’m not insane”, she told Efron.
