Alexandra Raisman
Aly Raisman was an American female gymnast. She was also a captain of her team in the US women's Olympic gymnastics The 2012 Fierce 5 team, and in the year 2016. She was named the Final Five. In the 2012 Olympics in London she clinched gold medals in team and floor competitions and bronze medal for the balance beam. She became one of the few American to earn the most medals at an Olympics. At the 2016 Olympics she took home a gold medal in the team event, which gave her and teammate Gabby Douglas the honour of been the first Americans to take home back-to-back gold medals for the team. Additionally, she was awarded silver medals in both the all-around individual as well as floor workouts. In between the two Olympics she had taken an absence from competitive gymnastics to rest for three months. In addition, she was part of two gold-winning American team in gymnastics. Her first experience with gymnastics began when she was two and her favourite event is the floor workout. Aly is an active member of the Uniting Against Lung Cancer organisation in honour of her grandmother who died of cancer. She is planning to pursue one in the fashion industry and is looking to increase her line of signature leotards and socks in future. Fierce, a new book that she's been working on, is scheduled to launch later in the year.
