Rooting for Aly Raisman-not a natural gymnast but defied all odds through hard work

[gymmummy]

Can't wait to see Aly this weekened!! Really love her, was not a fan in London, I always preferred classical style gymnasts but I have been so impressed with Aly's work ethic, team spirit & dedicatio, I think she's a wonderful role model for young gymnasts everywhere. I have seen youtube videos of an 8 & 9 year old Aly & from watching you would never guess she was a future olympic gold medalist however even at a young age she gave it her all

I loved Aly's floor in 2012. If you'd told me then that she'd be back and even better in 2016, I'm not sure I'd have believed it. Both a great athlete and a class act.

I'll admit her gymnastics is not my favorite (her floor though, wow!). But her leadership makes me like her. She's just a great person and role model.
