In this week’s episode of “Making Space,” Hoda Kotb sat down with Simone Biles before the Paris Olympics to talk about what legacy means to her.
Team USA superstar and gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles has long been a super fan of actor Zac Efron, but it turns out he's an equally big fan of hers. Eight years after Efron flew to the Rio Games and surprised Biles live on TODAY, he's still celebrating her Olympic wins. In a post to his Instagram page following the U.S. women's gymnastics team's first-place win in the team final at the Paris Olympics on July 30, Efron celebrated Biles' historic gold medal.
'I can't get my hopes up, I can't do that!' Biles replies before eventually being cajoled. 'OK, Zac Efron, I think we need you here at the team final because we'll all get to be there,' she said into the camera. 'And we need you to come watch.' A few days later, Efron surprised the gymnast in person in Rio de Janeiro.
