Simone Biles is living her very best life right now. She’s won five medals at the Rio Olympics, she got to meet (and smooch!) Zac Efron, she’s become famous enough in two weeks to spark totally false dating rumors, and she’s been selected as Team USA’s flag bearer for tomorrow’s Closing Ceremony.

She’s making history doing it, too! She’s only the second gymnast to ever carry the American flag into the ceremony and the first female gymnast to do it.

She’s definitely having a better Games than some American competitors.
