She's such an incredible inspiration. Not only for her work and determination as an athlete, but also for her bravery speaking out against sexual abuse in sport. Go Aly, you're a true champion at heart!
This girl rocks! So impressed with her dedication and skill in the sport, It is wonderful she's going for the 2016 Olympic team @ 22 yos, no doubt she's up for the challenge, Aly's got the fortitude to pull it off too. What a thing of beauty to watch her execute phenomenal moves on all the apparati with such precision, power, confidence, and grace. She will make a good team leader in Rio; cannot wait for San Jose qualifying. These women amaze me, their abilities are breathtaking and their singular focus on gymnastics every day of the year for 10+ years before getting a shot at turning pro and maybe making it to the national team, spectacular. Double Arabian dismount!
I'm a goaltender in hockey I have been for almost 8 years now, this girl impresses the crap out of me she trains twice as hard as I do every day. Most of my training is hand-eye coordination, reflex, distinguishing patterns. It'd be awesome to meet her and train with her, or any gymnast for that matter
I'd like to think nowadays thetes a move sway from gymnasts having to workout to overload as she describes here. No one can convince me its in any way 'good' for your body to, as she describes, wake up the day after a workout and virtually collapse to the floor due to pain and exhaustion. The approach of 'less is more' makes far more sense. Yes she's a brilliant gymnast, but she probably would have bern just as great without having to put her body through that much.
I think out of the fierce 5 Ally will be one of the gymnast that re-appear in rio. The only one that i do not see there from rio right now is Mckayla she only do vault and now the amanar is being master by many gymnast like simone biles.
Someone asked her why is she going back to the Olympics since she did well already?! Who says that? She's only 19 and is just starting her Olympic career.
***** Yep. Most Olympic gymnasts are 16-19 years old, since they have much more "energy" then… some do continue the sport for a while. There is one gymnast who is 39ish (Oksana Chusovitina).
***** Average age of female gymnasts at the London Olympics using exact dates of birth was 20 yrs 3 months. Median date of birth was 9/28/92. Almost half were 20 years of age or older. Although peak performance in the all around still appears to be less than 20. At 2013 World Championships 3 of the 24 gymnasts in the AA final were 20 or older.
Can someone please explain to me.....how did she earn 3 medals? I thought the whole US team only got one gold medal each. Do they have to earn the gold medals on their own, or is it a team thing?
She got gold for team. And then they have separate competitions for each event. So she got gold on floor and bronze on beam for those two event finals.
Team Final: Gold Medal Floor Final: Gold Medal Beam Final: Bronze Medal SN: In the all around final she tied with Aliya Mustafina for the bronze but she lost the tie breaker. I hate the tie breaker rule, especially the all around tie breaker. I mean if you think about it , it's not an all around medal if you drop an apparatus off the score. Sigh. Oh well.
Michelle Toren Okay, so basically every US team member had to earn their own gold medal? Or is that where the team final comes in? I'm just confused because when I watched the medal ceremony, it only showed all the teammates with one gold medal.
sunshine11931 Each apparatus has separate competitions with separate medal ceremonies in addition to the team event. It's like how Michael Phelps gets one gold medal for freestyle, another for butterfly, and everybody on the team gets one for the relay!

@ JuliaI caught a hint of the sarcasm in your comment... ;) How many 40 year old, heterosexual virgins have you come across? My epelipsy has turned away many from the opposite sex but this is my world. Well, all except for the fact that I'm not 40 yet - to date, I've got another 1.5 yr to go to hit that mark. Still, how pathetic am I? lol....Anyway, as for Aly, I've been supremely impressed with everything about her. Everything I've been exposed to about this girl has been amazing; she's an attractive woman with incredible heart, dedication, talent and what appears to be to same kind of values that I hold close to my heart. In short, I think that she's an incredible woman. We've never met but I'd be honored to be able to call her a friend of mine.
She might not even in Rio team but seems like Martha likes both Gabby and Aly to return but I'd rather them give Maggie Nichols a chance, most definitely she deserved a spot behind Simone.
Tori Volz hello I've said this last 2015 LMAO. Aly proven me wrong and she rightfully deserve that spot unlike Gabby. Aly works hard since last Worlds disaster and obviously wants that spot again unlike someone LMAOO
I really like her as a person. She's great! Looking extremely forward to Rio 2016!
Really beautiful and amusing she is.
I really love her as a person and athlete! She's so strong and powerfull
She's such an incredible inspiration. Not only for her work and determination as an athlete, but also for her bravery speaking out against sexual abuse in sport. Go Aly, you're a true champion at heart!
Love you aly. You're the best ever. Good luck!
She is a Beast
"Period"
We are lucky to have somebody like here in the USA Team
GO USAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
Aly in Rio ? I would love to see her out there, she proved to be solid when it mattered, I just wish her all the best.

και εγω δεν ειμαι τοσο θεαρα οσο εσυ
Όχι εγώ δεν είμαι τόσο θέααραα οσο εσυ
ΛΑΘΟΣ...ΤΟ ΑΝΤΙΘΕΤΟ ΣΥΜΒΑΙΝΕΙ
cant wait to see them compete #goteamusa
Such an inspiring girl
Aly you are beautiful
Congrats alyyyy
Someone asked her why is she going back to the Olympics since she did well already?! Who says that? She's only 19 and is just starting her Olympic career.
Well, 19 is pretty old by gymnastics standards...
***** is it

*****
Not any more. That is old thinking. These days many gymnasts are competing until their late 20's and continuing to get better.

i love her - but if she says 'literally' or 'obsessed with gymnastics' once more....!!!
Maybe she should've literally obsessed over English literature..? But they don't hand out gold metals for that.
it's not a big deal of course! Aly's a smart educated young woman. it just sounds funny. I don't really care!
Wasn't correcting just commenting!
***** me too - hope she can make it to Rio...
Rio 2016, are the lasts Olympics Games for Aly, right?.
Does anybody knows if exist some rules about the age to compete in Gymnastics??
you have to be over 15 but there was a 41 year old gymnast at rio
+astrid yeah! but it looks like she will be retired. i would like seeing Aly once again at Tokyo 2020
I think your awesome!! Love you❤️👍👍👍👍👍
Aly is so pretty with makeup on
With makeup on?
She lost her Bubbe? I was just reading about her in her book!
Can someone please explain to me.....how did she earn 3 medals? I thought the whole US team only got one gold medal each. Do they have to earn the gold medals on their own, or is it a team thing?

She flopped at the last worlds. She will flop in RIo.
She might not even in Rio team but seems like Martha likes both Gabby and Aly to return but I'd rather them give Maggie Nichols a chance, most definitely she deserved a spot behind Simone.
+Gracie C. well y'all hate to burst your bubble but she is going to Rio lol
Tori Volz hello I've said this last 2015 LMAO. Aly proven me wrong and she rightfully deserve that spot unlike Gabby. Aly works hard since last Worlds disaster and obviously wants that spot again unlike someone LMAOO
yeah, she flopped alright.
Ya getting silver at AA in Rio dang the flop xD
