Team USA vs Spain Full Highlights July 24, 2012 Olympic Pre Game
Parents of Olympian's reaction is Golden, Daughter Doesn't place
The parents of U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman are no different. And like Debbie Phelps, the mother of Michael Phelps, and other parents before them, the Raismans can find it excruciating to watch their daughter in competition. Case in point: the Raismans watching Aly during the uneven bars segment of the women's gymnastics preliminary competition. As entertaining as Raisman's routine was on on the bars, her parent's routine was equally worth a second look.
As this short video shows, Aly's parents -- Lynn and Ricky -- have a harder time taking in their daughter on the bars in fear of mistakes or injury. Both parents are different in their own way when it comes to handling their nerves, whenever Aly is in the spotlight, Lynn is talking and squirming her way through her entire routine while Ricky remains nearly silent until its conclusion. where he'll often offer an explosive "Yeah!" almost as if, his daughter had just won something bigger than the Lotto.

LONDON (AP) -- Sun Yang of China and Ryan Lochte of the United States were back in the pool Sunday as the top two qualifiers in the 200-meter freestyle hours after their gold-medal efforts at the London Olympics.
Sun was fastest in 1 minute, 46.24 seconds coming off his victory in the 400 free on Saturday.
"I'll try to do my best, but the 200 freestyle is not my best event," he said. "It's more difficult for me compared to the 400 meters or the 1,500 meters."
Lochte was second at 1:46.45, having won the 400 individual medley on the first night of Olympic swimming.
"I didn't get to bed until like 2 a.m. so I'm a little tired, but it was a prelims swim, so I'm not too worried about it," said Lochte, who was out celebrating with his family.
Yannick Agnel of France was third at 1:46.60. Also advancing was Park Tae-hwan of South Korea, who finished second behind Sun in the 400 IM after initially being disqualified in the prelims and then reinstated. Park was fifth-fastest at 1:46.79.

The Velodrome, located to the north of the Olympic Park, is one of the most sustainable London 2012 venues – from the use of Siberian pine for the track and external cladding, through to the use of the steel cables instead of girders in the roof, and a 100% natural ventilation system that eliminates the need for air conditioning.
