Douglas, Raisman To Make Competitive Return


Gabby Douglas
and Aly Raisman will make their competitive returns tomorrow at the 2015 City of Jesolo Trophy and we couldn’t be more excited! These two Fierce Five members will compete for the first time since the 2012 London Olympics.

There has been much anticipation building around their returns and they have been looking fantastic in training. They not only have many of their old skills back, but have added new combinations and will be debuting brand new floor routines. Both gymnasts display a new level of maturity and finesse, which is especially apparent in their dance.
 
Raisman, US Team Captain at the 2012 Olympics, has once again taken a leadership role on the team. Her strong work ethic and diligence is apparent throughout these training sessions and she is leading the team of already experienced seniors. Douglas is not one to slack off either. She has been cranking out routine after routine this week and is eager to respond to corrections from personal coach Kittia Carpenter as well as National Team Coordinator Martha Karolyi

Gymnastike is on site in Jesolo and we have exclusive training videos of the entire Team USA as well as international gymnasts. Below are some of the videos of the duo from training:
