Aly Raisman finished the Olympics in style. The U.S. captain matched Gabby Douglas in gold medals, winning the title on floor exercise Tuesday. Add in the bronze on balance beam from earlier in the day, and she becomes the most decorated of the Fierce Five. "It definitely went better than I thought it would," Raisman said. Good thing Raisman did so well because the rest of the Americans came up empty-handed. Douglas had another rough day, finishing seventh on balance beam after a fall. World champion Jordyn Wieber, voted most likely to leave London with the biggest haul, was seventh on floor and finishes without any individual medals. Danell Leyva and Jonathan Horton of the U.S. men’s team were fifth and sixth, respectively, on high bar, leaving the U.S. men with only Leyva's all-around bronze (--The Associated Press)
