ts one thing to have your parents sitting in the audience at a high school talent show. Its another to have them in the audience when you are competing in an international sporting event. United States Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman competed in the team qualifiers today, and the cameras at NBC caught the reactions of Raismans parents as she competed. And needless to say, it was a hilarious moment. -snip-

A meth addict, for those who aren't familiar with the term, is also called a tweaker.

They can't fucking show 9/10 of the events that are happening yet they have time for this drivel.

You could always tell whose kid was on the mat by certain spectator's body language. People who were still and relaxed were suddenly extremely animated until the match was over and would go back to being relaxed.

Talk about a helicopter mom. Geeze, the poor kid can't even compete in the Olympics without getting coached from the stands!
