Bob Costas interviewing Aly Raisman: “You come out of here with two gold medals and a bronze, sum up what this Olympics has meant to you.”
Aly Raisman: “This Olympics has meant everything to me. It’s been amazing and I wouldn’t have it go any other way. I tied for a third in the all-around and I ended up being in fourth, but to say that I’m the fourth best in the world in the all-around means so much to me. And I’ve dreamed of being an Olympic champion so I’m just really excited.”
Al Trautwig: “Wrapping up, Team USA on the women’s side takes five Olympic medals. London was a success.”
