The world is raving about the US women’s national team, not
since the famous 1996 Olympics in Atlanta has a team received so much
attention. The team, led by all-around champion Jordyn Wieber was nearly
flawless throughout the performance prompting their coach to dub the “the
greatest of all time”. The gold-laden team included sensation Gabby Douglas,
Jordyn Wieber and Aly Raisman that led the American team in all events
including floor exercise, balance beam, and more. The team gave individual quotes
on the win that included,
Douglas on the importance of a strong start on vault:
"We were all spot on. We stuck three 2.5 (Amanar vaults) and its
contagious. I'm so proud of these girls. We did awesome. A lot of hard work and
sacrifice in the gym, and it all pays off."
Maroney on her role after competing on vault, her only event
of the night: "I just wanted them to do so well and I'm just so proud of
them. I was screaming and yelling. That last event on floor was really
exhilarating, but amazing at the same time. I don't think I will ever, ever
forget that."
Raisman on having to wait until the third event to compete:
"I just kept moving and cheering on the Team USA girls. When the Russians
were going, I didn't pay attention to them. It wasn't that bad. It went by
pretty quick."
Ross on the U.S. accomplishing its goal of a team gold:
"We all did our events the best that we could and hit our routines, and we
are all really proud of each other. It was really fun watching floor. McKayla
and I were together cheering as loud as we could. We were screaming so
loud."
Wieber on working as a team: "This couldn't be possible
without everyone stepping up today. Everyone did their job and was completely
amazing. I am so excited."
Not to pat ourselves on the back but this is one-third of

THERAPY-IV) prediction on America’s Olympic performance in team sports. Now,
America only needs to win Basketball and Women’s Soccer to fully vindicate us.
