That “first girl” was singing enthusiastically along with the anthem. She was ribbed about it later.
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.
Ali Reisman will go for a career in opera after her gynmast days are over. Singing her heart out. She ouught to get endorsements after a trip to the salon.
