Aly Raisman’s Amazing Olympics Floor Routine Is Going Viral

The United States women’s gymnastics team, led by its Jewish-American captain Aly Raisman, won the Olympic gold medal in Rio.

It wasn’t in doubt in London.

Biles is a Sunday Mass-goer and is reported to regularly lights a candle to St Sebastian, the patron saint of athletes, before big events.

They were unable to improve on that position after the floor exercise, despite producing a performance only bettered by the Americans.

So, what exactly does a 19-year-old Olympic gymnast make? Here’s a look at how the teams fared, who their standout performers were and where they are now.

“Yes, the world is moved by Team Refugees”. Team USA secured the top spot in the team all-around finals while also locking in appearances in several of the Games’ various individual competitions.

The Americans scored 184.897 to beat second-place Russian Federation by 8.209 points, a rout in a sport that’s often decided by tenths.

Britain made an encouraging start on the uneven bars, ending the first rotation in third place, but slipped to fifth at the halfway stage after Ellie Downie fell off the beam.

During qualification on Sunday, every member of the USA team qualified for at least one of the event finals, which will take place over three days during the next week. They won the event by over eight points, the largest margin of victory under the current scoring standards.

Alexandra Rose “Aly” Raisman is the most decorated American gymnast at the Rio Olympics game.

“We were heavy favorites, but we tried to use that pressure as motivation”, said the 22-year-old.

But Mustafina took bronze thanks to gymnastics’ freaky and complicated tiebreaker system.

“The Final Five”, Karolyi said, choking up just trying to say the words. “Basically, they’re just so much automatic”. The only moment of tension on Tuesday came early.

American swimmers continue to mine for gold in the swimming pool at the Rio Olympics.

If Madison Kocian and Gabby Douglas perform the flawless bar routines they landed Tuesday, they will go 1-2 in that event.

Biles, Laurie Hernandez and Raisman competed on the balance beam.

“We’ve put so much training behind this, and I don’t think we could have been any more prepared”, said Biles, “so the outcome is just unbelievable that we finally have the gold”.

Hernandez revealed why the group had opted for the nickname “Final Five” as opposed to the “Fierce Five” of four years ago.

Karolyi, 73, has built the United States into a powerhouse and is retiring after these Olympics. She might sweep the medal stand at the Olympics. She underlines her status as the best female gymnast in the world with a dazzling floor display to top the leaderboard in qualifying for the individual all-around final.
