As if Olympic sensation Simone Biles didn’t already have plenty of reasons to smile – like maybe her four gold medals and one bronze – she’s got another reason now. Raisman was also a member of the gold-winning American teams at the2011 and 2015 World Championships, and was named as captain for the US women’s team for the 2016 Summer Olympics, with which she won another gold medal.

“Partying with Zac Efron, eating with Zac Efon, hanging out with Zac Efron, running on the beach with Zac Efron”, Hernandez said.
Mariano posted another snap with Biles and jokingly called out Efron, saying, “Hey Zac Efron I saw her first…”
Biles’ stellar performances in the Olympics are no surprise, considering that she has silently been making history for the past three years. (NB: not the same as four gold medals, but given the level of her crushing, still pretty good going). The video has understandably gone viral, and I love Hamblin’s last quote in Tuesday’s story by USA Today’s Martin Rogers: “When someone asks me what happened in Rio in 20 years time, that is my story”.
And she just had to steal a kiss from him too. We’re thinking she’s never looked better, so she’s got a point there! She swam an Olympic record of 52.70 in the women’s 100m freestyle and tied for gold. Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Catlin then made the prediction come true.
“I’m completely humbled that y’all think I’m an inspiration”, she told them.

With gymnastics officially over in Rio, the team took to Facebook Live to celebrate by answering fan questions, but also talk about having just met Efron, Biles’ biggest celebrity crush. “She is my girl”, he wrote along with a picture of him tightly squeezing and kissing the petite gymnast.
