Former gymnast Aly Raisman recently offered assistance to retired baseball player Derek Jeter in performing a gymnastics stunt. Jeter, 49, was seen trying his hands on a cartwheel but he happened to trip.

In the video, Jeter was seen standing with his hands raised. In an attempt to perform the cartwheel, he kicks with his right leg a few times and then bends his body to land his hands on the ground.

The former New York Yankees player then tried to lift his body using his hands but failed miserably. Although he attempted to perform the cartwheel two more times, he couldn’t perform it successfully.

Jeter shared the video on his Instagram handle, captioning it:

“Don’t judge. Let’s see you try and do a cartwheel!”

Moreover, the official X handle of Jomboy Media shared the video with the caption:

“Derek Jeter can do a lot of things. A cartwheel is not one of them.”

Coming across the video on X, Raisman, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, offered the baseball player her assistance.

“LOL @derekjeter @hannahbjeter call me I can help…. You need it”
