Medal count | Olympic schedule | Olympic news
Simone Biles racked up four gold medals and one bronze in her first Olympic quest. She became the only American female gymnast to win four golds in one games.
And now, she’s met her crush Zac Efron. These Olympics have come full-circle for Biles.

Their shameless social media flirtation continued all throughout the Olympic competition. Efron congratulated Biles following her all-around qualification match on Twitter posting, “So phenomenal a skill’s named after her. Congrats on sticking the Biles and qualifying for finals @Simone_Biles!”.
@ZacEfron Thanks Zac! I hope you can watch Team Final tomorrow night.

Calling all girls ages 12 to 16 in 2006, this High School Musical star has clearly moved on. Cry later.
It all started when Biles appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres show a couple of months before the games. Biles couldn’t contain her giggles when DeGeneres questioned her about the crush on Efron and presented her with a custom leotard covered in the actor’s face.

Bile’s crush has no bounds and she is not ashamed of it. She mentioned during an interview with NBC that she has a cardboard cutout of the actor behind her bed. Creepy or sweet?

And then, of course, the big surprise – arranged by NBC’s Hoda Kotb.
Biles has completely dominated the Olympics and now the question is which moment was more memorable? Four gold medals or a kiss from her crush? From the looks of things, my guess would be the latter.
