Wednesday Afterschool Special: Finishing Strong

Zac and Goldy

American gymnastics teammates Simone Biles and Aly Raisman completed their domination of the Rio Games yesterday when they took gold and silver, respectively, for floor exercise. That brings Biles final medal count to four golds and one bronze. Raisman finishes with one gold and two silvers.

To cap it all off, they got a surprise visit on the Today Show from Zac Efron, with whom Biles had been tweeting earlier in the games:
