Not everyone gets to land a date with a gold medalist Olympian, but Raiders tight end Colton Underwood made it possible. Saturday evening, Underwood made the bold decision to send gymnast Aly Raisman a video asking her out on a date, and it paid off.
Raisman first appeared in the 2012 London Olympics, and after earning a gold medal in the women’s team all-around competition, and achieving individual silver medals in women’s floor exercise and women’s individual all-around in Rio de Janeiro, she has received a plethora of praise over the past several weeks.
The two were initially introduced through Raiders long snapper Andrew East and his wife Shawn Johnson, also a gold medal gymnast.
