Simone Biles is an inspiration to us all in so many ways.
Remember when she gave the ultimate clap-back to the host asking her to smile on Dancing With The Stars?
'Smiling doesn't win you gold medals'.
And though, in one sense we cannot relate at all, because you know, we're never going to win a gold medal.
But in another sense, that is the feminist mantra of the century - working hard and being skilled is what matters, smile or no smile.
She also proved that gold medals mean bonafide hotties like Channing Tatum and Zac Efron fawning over you.
Again, no gold medals and no oiled up Tatum or Efron in sight for the rest of us.
What it does show us is that being dedicated and powerful and amazing (and so on and so on) is very attractive, and that we can get down with.
But, look away now Zac, because the 20 year-old powerhouse that is Biles, just gave another human man the heavenly gift of being Instagram-official with her.
Introducing fellow gymnast Stacey Ervin, regulation hotty.
On Monday night the Olympic athlete posted a photo of her and Ervin gazing into each others eyes with the caption, 'always smiling with you'. And we have one thing to day, Erwin, you better keep it that way, or else.
Ervin is a 23 year-old psychology major at Michigan and,according to what Biles said on Dancing With The Stars, her first real relationship.
She mentioned at the time she was seeing a mystery man who had a 'good smile' and a 'good body'.
We can confirm Biles' allegation.
Erwin has also posted a photo of the pair on the same evening with an adorable caption :
'Words cannot express how incredibly proud I am of you, all you've accomplished & how well you carry yourself. You make me feel like I am the luckiest man alive. Congratulation on your induction to the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame! I can't wait to see what the future has in store.'
Hands up if we think he might just be the luckiest man in the world?
