Congratulations to the USA Women’s Gymnastics team for taking the gold! Below is a video of team captain, and Needham, MA native, Aly Raisman’s parents watching her routine.  The video was taken earlier this week and Raiman’s mother and father are basically doing the routine while sitting in their chairs and yelling, “stick it”.  Recently people have been making fun of the Raisman’s for doing so.  I think it’s completely normal! I mean who among us hasn’t done something like that just on a smaller scale.  Think about it people…their daughter was competing at the Olympics! The whole family works towards a goal like that and it was all finally playing out before their eyes.  I think it would be weird if they didn’t have a reaction.

Later Aly will compete for an individual medal…good luck Aly.
