Aly Raisman, Needham. MA Golden Girl Home from The Olympics

So much excitement swirling around with Aly Raisman our hometown Golden Girl winning all these medals for the USA.  She is just a sweetheart besides the talent she has.  What a lovely girl.  We could not be prouder as a town of this young woman who has accomplished so much.

Not since Robbie Ftorek has anyone been as successful until Aly Raisman came along.  She delighted us every time we watched her perform .  It was great to watch her parents too.  They were there and so supportive and it almost appeared that they were doing it with her.  The video became viral and understandable.

Aly Raisman won 2 Gold and bronze.  You could only admire her as she performed and conducted herself.  You could see how tight the team was.  It was the best Summer Olympics I have watched and not just because of Aly which was a large part of  why I feel that way  We were captivated by her and her team.

Today everyone wanted to great her at the gym has worked in for so many years in Burlington.
