Every member of the Fierce Five Officially Back in the Gym


With the recent return of Aly Raisman to Brestyan's American Gymnastics, every member of the Fierce Five - Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney, Kyla Ross, and Raisman - has officially returned to gymnastics training at their home gyms. This comes less than a year after Olympic glory in London where they became just the second U.S. team to win gold in the Olympic Team Final. 

Raisman was Team USA's most decorated gymnast from the London Games, winning team gold, floor gold, and beam bronze. She also finished fourth place in the all around final. Raisman returned to training shortly after finishing fourth place in the Dancing with the Stars Finale.

For the most part, Raisman has kept her return quiet, but has expressed her happiness to be reunited with coaches Mihai and Slyvia Brestyan, as well as her soreness, on her Facebook page

After a June 10th workout, Raisman posted on twitter:


We also love this funny tweet from Raisman's Brestyan's teammate and Canadian National Team member Talia Chiarelli on June 3rd: 



Raisman has said all along and without hesitation that she definitely intends to return to gymnastics competition in the future and plans to be in the mix for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Raisman recently turned 19 years old, meaning the clock is not exactly in her favor. However, her teammate Alicia Sacramone proved a late comeback was more than possible. Raisman has the advantage of closely watching Sacaramone return to the sport under the Brestyans with huge success, including a 2010 World Title on Vault. 

Raisman has stated that she is targeting next summer for her return to gymnastics competition.
