Description

Miss Aly Raisman, the most decorated American in London and the Olympic champ on floor.

She used to be called "my mini-me" by Alicia Sacramone and then she became one of the most consistent gymnasts in the United States. She clinched team gold for the Fierce Five  in London with a clutch performance on floor. That routine featured some of her trademark INSANE tumbling. She's back in the gym and ready to return to competition later this year.  We discuss:

If she's still on track to be back for Classics in Chicago.
Bars, bars and bars, yes, she talks about her love/hate relationship with bars.
Her advice about handling pressure (because she's so freakin' good at it!)
Crazy skills she's been working on. Kenzo look out!
What helped her improve her flexibility and toe point last year.
What happened with Jordyn in the training room when Aly advanced to all-around finals without her.
How her relationship with coaches Mihai and Silvia Brestyan has changed since the Olympics.
Her thoughts on the Chinese age controversy in Antwerp.
How she deals with fear, even when Miahi calls her a chicken!
