After Gabby Douglas' lackluster finishes in the individual apparatus finals, the spotlight was again on Team USA gymnastics today in London.
And Aly Raisman didn't let anybody—including herself—down!
Not only did she win gold in the women's floor exercise, but the dratted tiebreaker rules that kept her off the podium following the all-around competition actually allowed her to walk away with the bronze in balance beam, as well!
That may have been it as far as American gold went Tuesday, but it was by no means an uneventful day. Here's what else popped around the Olympic park and beyond:

The 17-year-old, who was heavily favored to win more than team gold, was wearing a protective boot on her right leg after aggravating a possible stress fracture. Wieber told reporters she was "fine," but she stepped out of bounds early during her floor routine, an error that instantly took her out of medal contention.
