Aly Raisman imagine training practically your whole life for this one moment—pretty intense, right? U.S. gymnast in London Aly Raisman was one of many athletes to get emotional during the summer games, tearing up after failing to receive the bronze medal even though she had tied in third place with Russia's Aliya Mustafina after the Women's All-Around final. What gives? Get to know more about Gabby Douglas, the US gold-medal winner in Women's Gymnastics! According to Olympic regulations, a tie result in a count back, meaning officials go back and look at each competitor's combined execution score on the balance beam, bars and vault, followed by the highest combined difficulty score. Whoever had the highest score after that would come out on top? Unfortunately, Riesman’s execution was a hair lower than Mustafina, ultimately putting her in fourth place unfortunately. But she's not the only Olympian we've seen get choked up during these games.
