Tom Daley Dives Into Gymnastics With Olympic Gymnast Nile Wilson

As Olympic (and current world champion) diver Tom Daley notes in the beginning of this video, diving and gymnastics use different sets of muscles, but Daley and Olympic Bronze medalist Nile Wilson find the common ground putting each other through the other’s paces.

I have to say, I expected to watch a few minutes of the clip, but was drawn in by how accomplished both athletes are in the other’s arena. Daley clearly had a lot of acro-experience for his diving, and Nile was fearless trying out some not-so-simple dives.

And, there is the fact that both are easy on the eyes 🙂

Zac Efron Surprises Women’s Gymnastic Team At Rio Olympics

Zac Efron with the U.S. Women’s gymnastic team

Ok, this is about the cutest thing ever.

With the caption “We just met Zac Efron,” Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez shared the most exuberant news that the team’s all-time fave showed up to celebrate the women’s gymnastic team’s most awesome performances at the Rio Olympics.

It’s become an internet meme that golden girl Simone Biles is over the moon for the hunky movie star, complete with life size cardboard cut out of him in her bedroom closet. So, just imagine this moment 🙂

I’m thrilled for the girls – they deserve every treat available. And I definitely call Zac a tasty “treat.”

Check out these TWO amazing tumbling passes.

I think, in addition to the gymnast’s fantastic skill, my favorite part of the video is his fixing his hair before each pass.
