Aly Raisman, as the oldest member of the Final Five, has been a mentor of sorts to the rest of the U.S. womenβs gymnastics team.
And after Raisman won silver Thursday night in the all-around final, she returned to her room in the Olympic Village and found a sweet, hand-written note penned by her youngest teammates β Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian.
On Instagram Raisman added, βI have the best teammates. Gabby sent me the sweetest text. When we walked in the door Laurie, Madison & Gabby swarmed us with lots of hugs.β
Perhaps the best part of the note was what Hernandez and Kocian called Raisman: βMama Aly,β which is a nod to the role she played for the Final Five throughout their journey to Rio.
Meanwhile, Raisman also added a little teaser on Instagram to what the team will be wearing on the floor final. βIt makes us feel like super girl,β she said with a wink.
