— -- Forget Olympic Village dating apps. Gold medalist Aly Raisman managed to score a date with an NFL star over Twitter.
After a proposition by Oakland Raiders tight end Colton Underwood, Raisman agreed to a double date with fellow Olympian Shawn Johnson and her husband Andrew East, who also plays for the Raiders.
It all began with a video on Yahoo! Sports, during which Underwood tells Raisman that if she's "ever in San Jose and wants to go on a double-date with me and Andrew and Shawn, let me know."
Raisman, 22, said later in the video that Underwood, 24, is "very cute" and that she would go on a date with him. The conversation then continued on Twitter.
"@Colt3FIVE thanks for the sweet video.... looking forward to meeting you :)" Raisman tweeted at him. He replied, "Anytime! Looking forward to meeting you too. Safe travels back, see you soon!"
Could it be an athletic match made in Twitter heaven?
