One More Olympic Competition for Needham's Aly Raisman

Raisman competes in the floor exercise final Tuesday afternoon.

There's one more competition before the end of the Rio games for Needham's Aly Raisman. One last chance to perform on the sport's biggest stage.

Tuesday, Raisman will compete in the individual final for her strongest event - floor exercise. She will be one of eight gymnasts in the event which is scheduled for Tuesday at 1:47 p.m.

Only teammate Simone Biles can say she is on the same level as Raisman in the event. Since the start of the games, Raisman's floor performance has dazzled audiences with her explosive start and near-perfection. In the team and individual all-around competitions Biles and Raisman have gone 1-2 in the event.
