Aly Raisman Predicted Her Olympic Success When She Was 9 at Summer Camp

Aly Raisman is a girl on fire these days–if you’ve been following the Olympics at all, you know she’s been winning. She earned silver herself and led the Final Five, the US gymnastics team, to a second-straight team gold–and you know, she’s a three-time gold medalist. And she’s accomplished all this by age 22. Makes me feel kind of old; doesn’t it for you, too?

But she’s apparently also kind of psychic, because Raisman predicted her Olympic success 13 years ago when she was only 9 years old–according to fellow camper Emily Cohn, who went to Camp Wicosuta in New Hampshire with Raisman in 2003. Cohn posted photos on her Twitter, which Buzzfeed caught:

Way to follow through, Aly.
