Kocian and Hernandez wrote that they “couldn’t be happier” for “Mama Aly.”
“We’ve looked up to you from the beginning of our elite careers & you’ve inspired us in so many ways!,” they wrote.
Raisman said she also received the “sweetest text” from teammate Gabby Douglas, congratulating her on her achievement.
Raisman told USA Today she was proud to share the historic night with teammate, Simone Biles, who soared to all-around gold.
“We’re basically like sisters,” Raisman said, “and we’ll always have this moment forever.”
