The Best Celebrity Reactions To Gymnast Simone Biles Winning Gold

Simone Biles won gold in gymnastics for the women's individual all-around event on Thursday, making her the best gymnast in the world.

 

The US gymnast drew quite a response for her high flying antics, scoring 15.933 on floor - the highest of the day on any apparatus - and 62.198 overall, putting her 2 points in front of Aly Raisman, who won silver.

 

Celebs have been quick to react online to the 19-year-old's amazing performance, and it looks like Zac Efron has particularly taken a shine to her! He posted these tweets to cheer her on before the event:
