She got a score of 14.733.
“Trust me; I’m not insane”, she told Efron. Understandable despite four gold medals the gymnast is still a 19-year-old meeting movie star Zac Efron.
Biles, who’s a member of the United States of America gold winning gymnastic team known as the “Final Five”, calls Belize her second home. Biles’ stellar performances in the Olympics are no surprise, considering that she has silently been making history for the past three years.
Six-time medalist and team captain Aly Raisman, who picked up silvers at the individual all-around and the floor exercise, spent almost two years training for the Olympics, which means she’s been going to sleep at 9:00 p.m. every night.
In a wonderful twist, Efron became a fangirl of Biles himself during this summer’s Olympic Games, which led to the pair’s very climactic meet-up – complete with multiple cheek-kisses! – in Rio.
Aside from being a Brazilian booty call, so to speak, here’s what you need to know about the Brazilian-Portuguese-Japanese athlete. “I was kind of getting nervous myself”, he told Kotb and Matt Lauer on Today.
Earlier, Ukrainian gymnast Oleg Verniaiev won on the parallel bars as Germany’s Fabian Hambuechen added the horizontal bar gold to his silver and bronze from London and Beijing. Time will only tell if we get to see our girl Aly back in action, but we sure hope she decides to make a magnificent return! Meanwhile, all the other teammates sat in silence looking on their phones, trying not to laugh, because they know how serious she is about Efron.
American Danell Leyva matched Biles and Raisman with a pair of medals of his own, taking silver on both the parallel bars and high bar.

“I definitely think it raises some awareness and will get them inspired”, Manuel, 20, said about the significance of her accomplishment.
