Aly Raisman
The most decorated American gymnast of the Olympic games is a returning U.S. team captain whose mesmerising floor routine to Hava Nagila is as famous as her leadership abilities. A gymnast’s career is that of many comebacks and 22-year-old Raisman is no stranger to the concept. After a fiercely successful London Olympics at which she won two golds and a bronze, Raisman injured her knees following a fall from the uneven bars at the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions in the same year.
This prompted an almost two-year long break for her. She returned in 2015 and won gold and bronze at the City of Jesolo Trophy, as champions do. Along with Gabby Douglas, Raisman is one of the few women who have made back to back Olympic teams for the U.S. A floor sweeper extraordinaire, she is going to hope for a gold this time.
