The Tokyo Olympics will take place from July 24 to August 9.
In the post, she reminisced about watching the 1996 Olympics in her living room at age 8.
Raisman also appeared to allude to her sexual abuse by USA Gymnastics team physician Larry Nassar and wondered what she would tell her younger self about the abuse. She has said she reported the abuse but USA Gymnastics did not help.
