American women roll to team gymnastics gold – USATODAY.com: "The Americans won their first Olympic team gold since the "Magnificent Seven" in 1996 as Wieber shook off her own disappointment and came up big for the U.S. The Americans finished with 183.596 points. Russia won silver with 178.530. Romania took the bronze 176.414.
Competing in three of the four rotations, Wieber was her usual solid self. On this night at North Greenwich Arena, there was no time for jitters. She was first up on vault. As she landed a huge smile spread across her face. Wieber Fever had begun. As she left the floor, the first person to embrace her was Aly Raisman, her best friend and teammate who grabbed one of the U.S.'s two spots in the individual all-around."
