Aly Raisman: Going for Gold (And one bronze)

Aly Raisman, leader of team USA she walked away from London as the most decorated gymnast on both the men's side and the women's, she beat Gabby Douglas, walking away with two gold medals, and a bronze (Gold: Team, Gold: Floor, Bronze: Beam) I was so proud of Aly, she was always the underdog, Sacramone's somewhat invisible shadow, but when Alicia Sacramone injured herself at Worlds in 2011, Aly took over the leadership position because she was at the 2010 Worlds, and had experience. And in 2012, Aly stuck all her landings on her floor, and pushed her team towards gold, and then in beam, she delivered high difficulty elements and beat Ponor for third, and in the floor finals, Aly stuck all her landings, and won the gold medal, and is reigning floor champion.
