The best way to celebrate winning four gold medals in the Olympics is by fulfilling… one more dream. That’s exactly what happened to Simone Biles on Tuesday after bringing home another gymnastics gold in the individual floor routine competition. She then had a surprise meeting with her idol, Hollywood star Zac Efron.
For first-time Olympian Simone Biles and veteran Aly Raisman, the gold and silver medalists in the all-around competition, closed out the 2016 Olympics by taking the top two spots in the floor exercise.

The pair performed the two most difficult routines in the competition. For Biles, 19, it was her fourth gold in Rio, and fifth overall medal.
Back in 2012, Zak Efron played an ex-Marine in The Lucky One and put on 18 pounds of muscle for filming. Earlier this year, Efron has been busy getting in the best shape of his life to shoot the Baywatch movie. The 28-year-old actor shared photos of his workouts and his new physique on Instagram.
After Biles won her fourth gold to become the most decorated gymnast in American history, Efron, who knows somthing about hard working in the gym, decided it was finally time to meet her in person.

Later that night Efron posted another tweet feeling saying he was enjoying his own Olympic goal of hanging out with the team.
Biles posted her own Snapchatted moment to proof a kiss on her cheek from the Hollywood star.
