Aly Raisman Advances to Finals on DWTS!
         

2012 Olympic Champion Aly Raisman and her partner Mark Ballas have advanced to the finals on "Dancing with the Stars"!

"Team RaisNBall" as they're nicknamed will join three other celebrities in the finals: football player Jacoby Jones, actress Zendaya Coleman, and country singer Kellie Pickler. 

Aly and Mark performed two dances during week nine. Their Rumba dance received a perfect score of 30 from the judges (watch here). They also received a near-perfect score of 29 for their Afro Jazz dance. They were named safe on Tuesday's results show, advancing to the Finals.

Raisman hopes to follow in the footsteps of former U.S. National Team member and fellow Olympic Champion Shawn Johnson who represented the gymnastics community well by winning Dancing with the Stars in 2009. 

The "Dancing with the Stars" performance shows are on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC; the results shows are on Tuesdays at 9 p.m., ET.
