NEEDHAM, Mass. (AP) _ Gymnast Aly Raisman is getting a hero’s welcome following her medal-winning performances at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The 22-year-old’s suburban Boston hometown of Needham, Massachusetts is hosting a “Rally for Aly” Saturday morning.

Raisman will also sit for an interview on the steps of Town Hall with a local sports reporter. She won two individual silver medals and a team gold medal in the games that wrapped up earlier this month.

Raisman has the second most Olympic medals by a gymnast, with six. Former Olympian Shannon Miller has seven.

The town hosted a parade and rally for Raisman when she returned from the 2012 Olympic games in London with two gold medals and a bronze medal.
