Aly Raisman makes history

She may have had a disappointing individual all-around competition, but U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman brought her A game for the floor exercise finals, nailing her routine (including an element she had removed for both the team and individual all-around). Aly's gold marks the first time a U.S. female gymnast has ever won the event. Aly also took home bronze in the balance beam final.<Br><BR>-- <i><a href="http://twitter.com/andrealeigh203">Andrea Reiher</a>, <a href="http://www.zap2it.com">Zap2it</a></i>
