    Man, her parents did an excellent job raising her. So smart and so humble.
  • @Faithtrusts
    I love the fact that she is so humble. She works incredibly hard and lets her gymnastics do the talking. Unlike other gymnasts whose mouths write a check that their gymnastics can't cash. I am pulling for her on the 2016 team in Rio.
  • @SarahSchneider2
    I hope Aly Raisman makes it on to the Olympic team again for 2016. She did great in 2012.
  • @iluvdance00
    And look at that! Aly's going to Rio!! I'm so excited for her- she's worked so incredibly hard and she deserves it all <3
  • @frafra9654
    I would say "comeback queen"!! And now,she had her redemption with her silver medal in AA!!šŸ˜
  • I'm so frickin happy to see her back and training so well! I think the girls from 2012 learned a lot from the mistakes of Nastia and Shawn, taking so much time off and then trying to come back.Ā 
  • @withlove312
    Mihai is absolutely right: even if it's just being a team player, that should be considered a big success. Same is true with Gabby.Ā 
  • @melhudson1703
    She looks so good. And her form looks great too, I'm so excited!
  • @camillaeldra
    SHE MADE IT!!!!!! So glad for her with all the olympic results!!!!!
  • @patricia.ibanez
    And now she is in the finals for AA, floor and team! So happy for Aly!!!!
  • @juliebv1
    wow, someone's definitely on the right track. It's so nice to see this first Aly update. I can't wait to see her compete again in a couple of months!
  • Very excited to see Aly back in action. Really hope she'll make it to the Olympics.
  • @withlove312
    Hell yeah! Aly looks great, sounds great, and has such a maturity. No unrealistic expectations, Mihai is totally with it, things sound like they are coming along as ideally as is possible for a comeback (Nastia, I hope you're taking notes - this is how you stage a comeback.) I've never been a huge fan of Aly personally, though I respect her immensely and even more so now that I see the strategy and fruits of her progress. Is it just me or do her toes look just a little bit more pointed, a bit more extended? I know one thing she wanted was to improve on her weaker areas, and she seems to be doing just that. Nay sayers can suck it.
  • Raismann is a fighter, thats probably her best quality! Remember all her coaches said that she works extremely hard? She looks good though!
  • @justcogitating
    Have to say, I'm so impressed with Kyla Ross for not taking a break after the 2012 Olympics-- she really deserves Rio. She saw how difficult it was for Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson to try to make a comeback after a big break. Obviously, I'm super impressed with Aly too, and I wish her all the best in her comeback. On a separate note: Doesn't there seem to be a disproportionate number of USA female gymnasts with the letter "y" in their name, as compared to the population at large?
  • @hannahconroy
    Thanks so much for this mini documentary! Welcome back, Aly! You are a wonderful person! I'm cheering for you! Congrats on making into the National Team. :) Keep up the good work and God bless!
  • @ednavinalay
    Beyond excited to see my favorite gymnast back in action! šŸ˜šŸ‘Œ #TeamAly
  • @Krompskont
    From the short clips it looks like her bar work is much more controlled and mature. So excited and can't wait to see her in action again.
  • Wow I didn't expect her to even be this good at this point so far. Ā I almost see a maturity in her movement.. Ā  VERY IMPRESSIVE .
