US Gymnast Aly Raisman Has Country on Pre-Competition Playlist
"Country music always puts me in a good mood," said the gold-medalist.
Michael Phelps isn’t the only Olympian with country music pumping through his headphones. The United States women’s gymnastics competitor Aly Raisman is also a fan of the format and recently named a couple country songs on her pre-competition playlist.
The 22-year-old recently admitted to Entertainment Weekly that “Rewind” by Rascal Flatts is one of her favorite tunes “This song has been out for a while but I love country music,” she said. “It makes me feel happy and calm.”
Another track she listens to is Chase Bryant’s “Little Bit of You.” “I like the lyrics of the song. Country music always puts me in a good mood,” admitted Raisman.
Alongside Flatts and Bryant’s songs is “Into You” by Ariana Grande, “Live It Up” by Colbie Caillat and “Try Me” by Jason Derulo.
Raisman will hit the mat for the final time on Tuesday when she competes for a medal in the Women’s gymnastics floor routine. She has already earned two medals in gymnastics during the 2016 Summer Olympics – a gold for the Women’s team all-around and a silver for the women’s individual all around.
