The gymnasts missed a White House appearance with the rest of the U.S. Olympic team earlier this year because of their national tour schedule.
The Fierce Five – Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Kyla Ross, Aly Raisman, and Jordyn Wieber – claimed the gold at this summer's London Games. They signed leotards to give to the president's daughters, Sasha and Malia, during the visit.

on the air it was great as usual but she landed on the side, so her score was like, 15.8, which is great for everyone else but low for her (her lowest in the competition). it shows how good she is hough, she's the only one who can do that vault and get deducted purely on the landing, everyone else would've ended up with a 15.6 and lower if they did exactly the same. at least she landed on the mat and not practically on the judges table like certain bitter russian flops...
