After snagging her fourth gold today in Rio, Simone Biles managed to find a few moments in her busy schedule to spend with ZacEfron.

“You’re fine”, Biles said she told Raisman after the door knock.
It may not be so sad after all since the 19-year-old gymnast got a visit from her celebrity crush, Zac Efron.
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.
The one-two finish by the two Americans continued the domination in the field by the US women’s gymnastic team, which started its run in Rio with a gold medal in the all-around competition.
Once they were united, Efron planted a kiss on Biles’ cheek and the gymnast, who has a cardboard cutout of the actor in her bedroom, has since tweeted: “Just call me Mrs Efron already”.
She has claimed a team gold, as well as individual golds in the all-around and vault.
He posted a regram of Simone’s photo on Instagram with the caption: ‘@zacefron I saw her first…
‘Proud of you Simone!’, he continued.
The actor was not able to watch Simone Biles and the others in action in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The stunt was planned by NBC host Hoda Kotb after Simone told her that she had a crush on the actor, and when Kotb let the individual all-around victor know that he was coming to meet her and her teammates she said: ‘If you bring him out, I think I’m gonna pass out’.
However, Biles could not make it five golds out of five, when she only (only!) took bronze in the balance beam.

“I think it’s true to say”, Boorman said, “that we could have fielded two teams here and they would have gone first and second”.
