Aly Raisman Headed to the Dancing With the Stars Finals

Needham Olympian Aly Raisman and partner Mark Ballas are headed to the Dancing With the Stars finals Monday, they found out during last night's semifinals results show. 

Raisman trained for the Olympics Gymnastics Team at the Brestyan’s American Gymnastics Club in Burlington. She won two gold medals and a bronze medal for the U.S. Women’s Olympics at the 2012 London Games.

They vaulted into the finals after a near-perfect perfomance Monday night. Raisman and Ballas danced the rhumba, which garnered a perfect 30 from the judges, followed by an Afro Jazz dance, bringing in 29 out of 30 points.

In a light moment during the results show Tuesday, Ballas revealed in an interview that Raisman likes to keep a few bangle bracelets from each performance. 

At the end of Monday night's show, Raisman and Ballas topped the leaderboard, tied with Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff, who also received 59 out of 60 possible points.

Jones and Smirnoff were the first pair to find out they are headed to the finals. Next up, Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough found out they got the green light. Next, Raisman and Ballas got the nod. 

In jeopardy Tuesday night were Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy, who got a 55 Monday night, and Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson Bruno, who finished the semifinals with the lowest score — a 51. 

Ultimately, Rademacher and Bruno were sent home. 

The finals will be held Monday night on ABC.
