From adorable glimpse with Simone Biles at Paris Olympics to U.S. Open Aly Raisman shares her fun sports memories of the year

As 2025 kicked off, Aly Raisman reflected on some of her fun sports memories of 2024, from attending the gymnastics, swimming, and volleyball events at the Paris Games to the 2024 U.S. Open finals. She shared a selfie with the legendary gymnast Simone Biles, who won three gold and one silver medal at the French capital, and posed with Biles' parents Nellie and Ronald while celebrating the gymnast's success.

Raisman posted a picture with Laurie Hernandez with whom she shared the podium at the 2016 Rio Games, when the duo contributed to the American squad's success in the team event. They also posed with USA Gymnastics therapy dog Beacon.

The retired gymnast donned a chic black dress while posing with Suni Lee, who also stunned in a black jumpsuit. Raisman also posted pictures with 2024 U.S. Women Gymnastic Team members Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera, who secured a gold medal in the team event.

Aly Raisman sported a casual white floral dress while attending the 2024 U.S. Open final between Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula, which the former won. She paired her dress with funky green and black sunglasses. The six-time Olympic medalist gave a glimpse of her new endeavor as she made her broadcasting debut with ESPN for collegiate gymnastics. Her Instagram post was captioned:

"I love how sports can bring us together 🤍 I have made so many friendships along the way 🥹 Here are some fun memories I have of sports in 2024. Gymnastics world I’ll see you so soon 😉 @espn college gymnastics here we come 💋"

2024 featured the most prestigious sporting event, the Paris Olympics, that rekindled Raisman's love for sport.

From announcing the news of her broadcasting debut to her return as an enthusiast, Aly Raisman made her feelings known in an interview with Olympics.com:

"It’s been so wonderful in 2024 to be back in the gymnastics world. I feel like I kind of have re-fallen in love with the sport, which is really nice. I think that I needed a little bit of space from being back into the sport.

Now, being able to be back, seeing all my teammates, getting to spend more time with them, being back in the gym, and starting to commentate has been such a wonderful experience.”

Raisman's presence at the Trials was her first at a U.S. gymnastics meet in years
