Aly Raisman deserved to be in the All-Around competition. I suspect Douglas is bitter that she didn’t make the cut this year after winning the gold four years ago. Douglas will sink into obscurity soon enough, Bitter people never continue on a successful path. Sad. She really was ‘all that’ back in 2012, wasn’t she? I was so looking forward to seeing her perform this year, but she doesn’t have the grace of her previous performances any more. I’d guess probably her attitude is affecting her routines.

I think you are right about her disappointment/bitterness over not making All-Around. This year she hasn’t looked happy. She is still outstanding but maybe her time was passed and she is having trouble dealing. It’s hard when you have been the best and don’t hang on to that. I am happy for Ali though. She is tough. And Laurie Hernandez makes me smile!
