Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman may have just gotten a 255-pound man to flip.

Raisman, who won a gold and two silvers in the Rio Games, accepted a double date proposal from Oakland Raiders tight end Colton Underwood during an interview with the Yahoo! Sports video channel.

Underwood, 24, invited the 22-year-old Raisman to go out with her gymnast pal Shawn Johnson, a 2008 Olympic gold medalist, and husband, Raiders long snapper Andrew East .

Johnson and East had apparently discussed Underwood with Raisman before, and she gave her thumbs-up in the clip.

Hes very cute, she said. ...I would go on a date with him.

While the two appear to be pretty busy, Raisman mentioned a possible rendezvous during her Sept. 18 champions tour appearance in San Jose with the rest of the Final Five.
