Zac Efron dashes our hopes for one last Simone Biles encounter


Save for one balance beam flub (despite which, she still made the podium), Simone Biles pretty much had a dream Olympics. Five medals: Four gold, one bronze. Oh, and she got a kiss from her dream man, Zac Efron.

After being named the flag bearer for the Rio closing ceremony, she had one question on her mind: Would Efron be sticking around to watch her lead the U.S. delegation?

Sadly, a second meeting is not meant to be. Later on Saturday, Efron replied that he's already back in the northern hemisphere for work but congratulated her on the honor.

Color us disappointed.
