Why Did Aly Raisman Quit?

Aly Raisman retired from the sport of artistic gymnastics in January 2020 on the back of a very successful career. Raisman, with her graceful performances, won three Olympic gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal in the span of two Olympic outings.

At the 2012 Olympics in London, she won gold medals in the team and floor competitions, as well as the bronze medal on the balance beam, making her the most decorated American gymnast at the Games. She is the third-most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history behind Shannon Miller and Simone Biles, with six Olympic medals.

Raisman was also a member of the gold-winning American teams at the 2011 and 2015 World Championships and the World bronze medalist on floor exercise in 2011.

Raisman is also a two-time national champion in floor exercise (2012, 2015), the 2012 national champion on the balance beam, and a five-time medalist in the all-around at the national championships. In 2013, she was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
