A sultry routine flew high in air to perform her moves on samba music, Brazilian crowd on their feet. 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.
He later shared a picture of himself in front of Simone and her teammates, telling them to “dominate the floor”.
Luckily, she didn’t need to be revived, even though she received a hug and a kiss on the cheek from Efron. So either click on those above links and come back, or just take my word for it: Simone Biles is the GOAT.

“Holy schnikes”, he said. What the heck is in her legs?
If she needs advice, she doesn’t have to look far. “That’s unbelievable to me”.
“I think it was after all-around and before floor, [teammate] Laurie Hernandez was like, ‘If you get silver again, you’re the best because Simone doesn’t count, ‘ ” Raisman recalled with a laugh. “Stop; you’re lying. No way, no way”.
If not for Biles, it may have been Raisman stealing the show at these Games.
“It’s been a long journey”, Biles said. “I’m so …” she started before her voice rose a couple of octaves into a wordless squeal.

“She’s always been headstrong”, her mom, a retired nurse, told Texas Monthly magazine.
