McKayla and Aly both debuted as part of the American women's gymnastics team dubbed the "Fierce Five" at the 2012 London Olympics. The duo had a terrific start to their careers, winning gold as part of the American team at the 2012 Games. While Maroney bagged an individual silver medal in the vault event of the tournament, Raisman managed to win gold in the floor exercise event. Maroney announced her retirement from competitive gymnastics in February 2016 due to multiple injuries. She was just 19 when she retired. However, Raisman continued to compete and featured in the Rio Olympics. Like in 2012, Raisman led the American women's gymnastics team to gold in 2016. She also managed to win two individual silver medals at the event. Having started their Olympic careers as a team, McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman shared a healthy relationship. However, this slowly depreciated as they began sharing lesser times together. Nonetheless, the two athletes later came together during the infamous Larry Nassar scandal. The duo were among the victims who pressed charges against the USA Gymnastics doctor.
