Simone Biles conquered the world on Thursday night. We mean this almost literally, as the 19-year old gymnast earned the all-around Gold Medal in gymnastics with an overall total of 62.198 points. Now that she’s reached the top of her profession, what else is there for Biles to do? Catch a murderer, of course! Sort of. The incredible athlete had previously made it know that she loves to watch Pretty Little Liars online or on television; she’s a big fan of the Freeform series. Therefore, I. Marlene King responded to Biles’ victory this week with an open invitation to the young star. “Hey Simone, I heard you are a PLL fan… well, we are huge fans of yours and everybody there,” said King on Twitter. As you’ll see below, she then invited Biles to “come see us as soon as you get home, and brings your friends.” King is referring here to the “Final Five,” the nickname given to the Gold Medal-winning women’s gymnastics team. Hey @Simone_Biles ! @imarleneking wants you & the #FinalFive to come to PLL set when you get back – are you in? pic.twitter.com/zzMvR8mCkV — Pretty Little Liars (@PLLTVSeries) August 12, 2016 The executive producer also passed along her congratulations in a basic Tweet. Here it is: Is Biles interested in visiting the Pretty Little Liars set? In maybe walking on for a cameo down the line? Hmmm… it’s hard to say. Can you decipher her response? HA! We kid. She’s clearly beyond excited for this opportunity. Interestingly, there’s a history of Gold Medal-winning gymnasts making appearances in dramas aimed at a younger demographic. Back in 2012, Gabby Douglas captured the all-around crown and was then invited to make a cameo on The Vampire Diaries . You can see her on the episode titled “My Brother’s Keeper,” playing a girl who helps Caroline during the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant. Here is Douglas on the set of that CW series with a pair of familiar and handsome faces: Biles will undoubtedly have a bajillion offers headed her way over the coming days, weeks and months. You’ll see her on talk shows. You’ll see her in commercials. You’ll see her in interviews. But we’re guessing you’ll also see her on Pretty Little Liars at some point. She’s very obviously an enormous fan. And this just makes us love Simone Biles that much more. Congratulations to her and to all the American winners!
