United States gymnast Simone Biles may be a four time Olympic gold medallist – but it was Zac Efron who made her dreams come true. She also won gold in a medley relay, silver in the 50-meter freestyle and silver in another medley relay.
Aside from winning 5 medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Simone is also the first to win 3 consecutive all-around world titles.
“Sometimes I used to kiss him on the cheek”, Biles said in the NBC interview. Raisman won a team gold, all-around silver and floor silver in Rio, while Leyva picked up silvers on the parallel bars and horizontal bar. Fellow Team USA member Aly Raisman took home the silver medal and is followed by Great Britain’s Amy Tinkler. “It is a pleasure”.
After failing to win gold Monday in the finals of the women’s balance beam, Simone Biles had another chance to earn a gold medal today in the women’s finals in the floor competition.
Biles took a moment to answer a question asking if she hopes to try again to win gold in all her events at the 2020 Tokyo games. You can see as much when Simone was on Ellen.
Kristian Ipsen competes during the men’s 3-meter springboard diving final in the Maria Lenk Aquatic Center at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2016. She leaves these Olympics as the most decorated gymnast with four golds and a bronze. I went there without any expectations, so to win two golds was just incredible, and then I thought, ‘How on earth am I going to top that?’ We believed in ourselves, and in our team. The finals begin at 8:15 p.m. Bartoletta won gold in the long jump previous year in the World Championships. Eight times she scored above 15, including Tuesday when she had a 15.966 in the floor exercise, which was.466 better than second-place Raisman. The bronze victor was Jenny Simpson – the first American woman to ever win a medal in the event.
“I’m so proud at what I achieved”, she said.

The two first started flirting on Twitter when Zac tweeted: “So phenomenal a skill’s named after her”. “So I think that was my face of shock” after his clean entry in the water.
