Aly Raisman signs a few autographs during the Poland Spring Inspire Kids event held at Stop & Shop on Saturday afternoon (June 8) in Toms River, New Jersey.
The 18-year-old gymnast was on hand to meet with young fans and to celebrate what it means to “Be Your Best.”
“Meeting with the YMCA and Ocean Gymnastics Academy gymnasts here in Toms River is a great way for me to connect with the younger generation of gymnasts and share with them the importance of hard work and always doing your best, and I am happy to be a part of this event with Poland Spring 100% Natural Spring Water. Poland Spring has been my water of choice through my years of training and competing, and it’s wonderful that they support me and share my vision to be the best I can be, both in and out of the gym,” Aly shared in a statement.
During the event, Aly also shared advice with the VIP crowd of young gymnasts.
“Thank you @andrewscozzari for the sweet gift! You’re such a gentlemen… Never change! Thanks to everyone else who has come to @PANDORA_NA,” she later tweeted.

Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas bring some attitude to the dance floor on Good Morning America in New York City on Wednesday morning (May 22).
The couple, who came in fourth place on Dancing With The Stars, spoke to People after the show.
“I’m sad it’s over,” Aly shared. “Right when they announced [our elimination], it was just heartbreaking. You work so hard and everyone wants to win. [But] When I really stop and think about how lucky I am to be on the show, and what an amazing opportunity this was, and how much fun I had, it’s okay.”
She continued, “We have absolutely no regrets. We worked so hard and we had so much fun, so that’s what counts. I wish we could have been out there [for the instant dances]. I was cheering for [the remaining contestants]. They were amazing. It was awesome. It was fun to watch. I was happy for them.”
“Such an amazing experience! Thank you #DWTS for letting me do the show! Can’t believe the finale is here! Tonight is all about having fun!” the 18-ear-old Olympic gymnast tweeted her thanks before the finals on Monday night (May 20).
Aly added to her cast mates, “Good luck to @kelliepickler @TheRealJacoby12 @Zendaya let’s have fun tonight :) wishing you all your best night!!!”

Then the twosome took the floor with the other contestants for the Cha Cha Relay where they won three points – giving them a total score of 61/65 for the night!
“I’m normal nervous — not anymore than usual,” Aly recently told Us Weekly. “Definitely not as nervous as I was for the Olympics. This is just for fun! It’s the first time in my life that I am doing something different so I’d honestly rather enjoy it than anything else.”
