Maria Paseka…Russia’s 5th Olympic Team Member?
Russian head coach Alexander Alexandrov recently stated that Aliya Mustafina, Viktoria Komova, and Anastasia Grishina were essentially locks for the Olympic team.

Wieber’s Heroic Comeback…One For The Books!
Well I guess Jordyn Wieber can be emotional after all.

USA Wins It!!!
The team final that most expected would be a tight race between the USA, China, and Russia ended up being a landslide, with the USA easily regaining the world team title it last won in 2007.
