Aly Raisman just had a major milestone in her life.
Aly Raisman, an American athlete who has won six Olympic medals, gained recognition as one of the gymnastics world’s hardest workers. After her last competitive performance in Brazil over eight years ago, Raisman is currently living life to the fullest.
The legendary United States women’s gymnastics star finally ended her time in her 20s when she turned 30-years-old.
Raisman took to social media to show off some of her birthday festivities and included four photos.
The first picture showed her drinking tea while rocking sunglasses. The second picture showed Aly Raisman rocking a white crochet knit top with blue jean shorts while holding a large lemon. The third and fourth pictures showed her seated at a place that was clearly based on lemons as you could see them on the table and growing from the tree.
Raisman was one of the girls who, as you may recall, accused gymnastics team physician Larry Nasaar of abusing children sexually. The other females came forward soon after Maggie Nichols, a fellow gymnast on Team USA, came up in 2015 regarding the abuse. Maggie was referred to as “Athlete A” during the trial that followed.

Three-time Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman, who was part of the 2012 and 2016 U.S. Women’s Gymnastics teams, isn’t giving up her love for the sport, as she has just made a huge announcement involving ESPN.
Raisman, who was the captain of the “Fierce Five” group alongside gymnasts Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Kyla Ross, and Jordyn Wieber, announced that she would be joining the sports network as an analyst on its NCAA gymnastics broadcasts, continuing her involvement with the sport that she knows and loves.
“I’m so excited,” Raisman told PEOPLE when making the big announcement. “If I’m being honest, I’m also very nervous because I want to do a good job.”
Although she admits that analyzing the sport is “very different than anything I’ve ever done” she is ready to start her “really cool new chapter” and take on the “big challenge.”
“I’m just really excited and appreciative for the opportunity to be able to stay involved in the sport,” she told the outlet.
