The floor exercise continues to be Aly Raisman’s best event.

Raisman earned a spot on the women’s Olympic gymnastics team with a third place finish at the U.S. Olympic trials in San Jose, California this weekend. The 22-year-old Needham-native, who won gold in floor exercise during the 2012 London Olympics, scored a 15.450 during her floor routine on day 1 and a 15.050 in her performance on day 2. Her day 1 performance in floor exercise was her best-scoring performance in any of her events at the Olympic Trials.
