Aly Raisman Reflects on Gymnastics Career and 'Dancing With the Stars'

Written by Kelly A. Mello

Gymnast Aly Raisman used to be the underdog. After working her whole life to become an Olympic champion, the Team USA Women's Gymnastics captain walked away with two gold medals and a bronze at London's 2012 Games. Now returning to compete for a spot on the 2016 Olympic team, Raisman joins Overshare to reflect on her training schedule, her family's sacrifices, the pressure of her sport, her participation in ABC's Dancing With The Stars, and what inspires her to push forward.

Raisman, a Needham resident, trained at the Brestyan’s American Gymnastics Club in Burlington.
