Simone Biles: Olympian Crushes On Zac Efron, Efron Crushes Right Back
Being noticed by your crush – nay – your celebrity crush might be better than winning a gold medal, depending on where your priorities lie.

From there, the crush snowballed into something beautiful. Let"s take a look at the history of Biles + Efron 4 Eva.
1. Christmas Present Goals
Some kids want an iPad. Simone Biles just wanted a cut-out of Zac Efron.
2. Christmas Present Is Put To Good Use
Christmas 2014 is one she’ll never forget. Until Efron shows up with a ring on Christmas Day 2016.
3. Ellen Knows How To Give a Gift
Unfortunately, the leotard did not pass IOC inspection.
4. Ellen Brings People Together
I have a crush on Prince Harry. Ellen, call me…

Oscar Pistorius Found Guilty of Murder; Olympian Could Face 15 Years in Prison
Back in September of 2014 millions were outraged when Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide in the death of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp.
The charge is the South African equivalent of manslaughter, and the verdict essentially absolved Pistorius of the crime of knowingly murdering Steenkamp while she hid in the bathroom of his home, fearing for her life.
Culpable homicide carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, and Pistorius was released in October after serving less than 12 months.
Today, however, a South African appeals court overturned a lower court’s ruling and found Pistorius guilty of homicide.
The 29-year-old Olympian will now be headed back to prison for a minimum sentence of 15 years.
“This case involves a human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions,” Judge Eric Leach said while announcing the court’s verdict.
“A young man overcomes huge physical disabilities to reach Olympic heights as an athlete; in doing so he becomes an international celebrity; he meets a young woman of great natural beauty and a successful model; romance blossoms; and then, ironically on Valentine’s Day, all is destroyed when he takes her life.”
Lawyers for Pistorius will appeal the decision, but it seems almost certain that Pistorius will be headed back to prison.
No date has been set for Pistorius’ sentencing hearing, and he will reportedly remain under house arrest until then.

Oscar Pistorius Released From Prison; Olympian Served Less Than One Year For Murder of Reeva Steenkamp
In October of 2014, Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of shooting and killing his 29-year-old model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
Today, less than one year later, Pistorius is a free man, having been secretively released from prison late last night in order to avoid media attention.
Pistorius will now serve a four-year house arrest sentence at his uncle’s palatial mansion in Johannesburg.
Pistorius was originally slated to be released in August, but angry letters from hundreds of outraged South Africans – including Steenkamp’s grieving parents – persuaded the nation’s justice minister to hold him for another two months.
“We have forgiven Mr. Pistorius, read the letter from Steenkamp’s parents. “However, a person found guilty of a crime must be accountable for their actions. Incarceration of 10 months for taking a life is simply not enough.”
A lawyer for the family says the Steenkamps are still angry, and still believe that justice was not served.
Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide, which is comparable to manslaughter in the US justice system.
The sprinter – nicknamed “Blade Runner” by fans – earned international fame after becoming the first double-amputee to participate in the Olympics.
Many believe Pistorius received preferential treatment from the South African justice system.
