Gymnastics

Gymnastics Known as "The Flying Squirrel," Douglas won the women's all-around title Thursday night, becoming the third straight American to win gymnastics' biggest prize and the first African-American. It's her second gold medal of the London Games, coming two nights after she and her "Fierce Five" teammates gave the United States its first Olympic title since 1996.

Aly Raisman got left off the medal stand in the women's gymnastics all-around at the London Olympics due to a flawed tiebreaker. She finished in fourth behind Gabby Douglas, Viktoria Komova and Aliya Mustafina.
Gabby Douglas was the run away winner of the women's all-around and Viktoria Komova was a strong second. However, Aly Raisman and Aliya Mustafina tied through their four events leading to the tiebreaker that stripped Aly Raisman of a medal she earned.
