Aly, not only being the most decorated gymnast to leave the Olympics this year in 2013, but she has also done much more than that. Aly has many sponsors and endorsements. She also took part in the ABC television show, Dancing with the Stars. She made it to the final round until 17 year old Zendaya from the Disney Chanel TV show "Shake it Up" took the first place spot. Even though people argued that Aly, and everyone else competing against Zendaya, were at a complete disadvantage because the tv show that she is in has her as a main character dancing. Her entire career is based around dancing. So they complained that Aly should have won the first place title. Aly soon put that to rest by saying that Zendaya deserved the first place trophy.
Aly has many endorsements. She does many pictures and groups with Pandora, Kellogg, Poland Springs, GK elite, and many other companies. GK Elite is a gymnastics brand for leotards for gymnasts. Aly makes personal designs for her own brand and line of leotards for gymnasts all around the world to wear. I have 4 of Aly Raismans leotards in my "collection". To me I strongly believe that Aly is an amazing role model, and someone, I know that many gymnasts look up to.
This is Aly Raisman at her photo shoot with Poland springs. Now about Aly and her Olympic career,She did compete in the all around events, along with Gabby Douglas. She had to compete against her team mates. She did end up beating Jordyn Wieber when competing for the stop on the all around team. Aly felt bad for kicking someone off of the all around spot but she was happy that she got it as well, she didn't let her team down at all. Aly was the captian of the team. She knew exaclty what needed to be done and she told her team what they had to do and what scores they had to get in order to achieve the gold medal, and with everyone put together, they got it. They took home the gold for USA. Aly has said in multiple interviews that she doesn't like to accept any full credit for taking and leading US to the gold. She says that without the other girls they would have been no where.
