Simone Biles has been said to be one of the best gymnasts of our time, and she has showcased her outstanding talent at the Olympic Games in Rio. She left her first games with four gold medals and one bronze. Commentators constantly spoke to her incredible achievements. Not only was she loved by Americans, but viewers from other countries fell in love with America’s sweetheart.

Simone Biles said in an interview with The Today Show that she has a massive celebrity crush on movie-star Zac Efron. Fans then tweeted the video to Efron in an attempt to unite the two. Zac sent a video to Biles on Twitter wishing her, and all the other US Women Gymnasts, luck as they enter competition. Simone dominated and came out on top in all but one of her events. After her competition ended, Biles was again interviewed on The Today Show to speak about her time at the Olympics. After the interview ended, Biles was treated to a lovely surprise. Zac Efron came to Brazil to meet her and the other Olympians.

This is why I am now inspired to train for the Olympics. If I can meet Zac Efron I will gladly work hard to become an amazing athlete. Who hasn’t had a crush on Efron at one point or another? Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the gold medals are cute and can become a great accessory to most outfits.
