AP reports -- Aly Raisman finished the Olympics in style.
The U.S. captain matched Gabby Douglas in gold medals, winning the title on floor exercise Tuesday. Add in the bronze on balance beam from earlier in the day, and she becomes the most decorated of the Fierce Five.
Good thing Raisman had such a big day because the rest of the Americans came up empty-handed. Douglas had another rough day, finishing seventh on balance beam after a fall. World champion Jordyn Wieber, voted most likely to leave the Olympics with the biggest haul, was seventh on floor and finishes without any individual medals.

I can’t
believe I’m saying this but thank God the gymnastics at the Olympic Games are
almost over because what happened on Tuesday night it just made my vomit. After
I saw how Aly R. is begging for more points just to get a medal I felt sick to
my stomach. Catalina P. floor exercise was way better and the judges made sure
they cut enough points out of her performance so she won’t go over the American.
And that TRAITOR Bella Karoly and his wife, I never saw him fighting for
the Romanian girls when he was their trainer as he was fighting for Aly last
night. Let’s not forget that he is where he is because Romania helped him to be
the name he is today in gymnastic. And this is for Bella: That country fed you
for so many years and everybody was looking at you like they were looking at
God and all the doors were opened for you and you are nothing but a TRAITOR.
If it wasn’t for Romania to make you who you are today you would have come to
this country just like every other immigrant starting from washing toilets. You
were able to do here what you did in Romania again because Romania made you famous.
What a truly horrible comment Lelisada makes. The Olympics is about sportsmanship. Compete with honor! If the judges get the difficulty rating wrong, there is no dishonor in pointing that out. And there is no dishonor for a man and his family to move to where he can make the most of his life. I don't think he is spiting on Romania! I hope that even people who wash toilets can have a better life in America!
I just watched Aly Raisman's floor routine at "Top NBC Moment", and I have never seen better. Awesome!
McKayla is not impressed.
