Our family had always loved the Olympics, long before Aly told me that this was what she wanted to do.
Everybody knows a family that can be safely dubbed as “that Olympics family,” who expose themselves through a whole-hearted plunging into the seasonal celebrations.
But that’s a feeling all too familiar for Lynn and Rick Raisman, the parents of 22-year-old multi-medal-winner Aly Raisman whose on-edge and on-air reactions to their daughter’s routine went viral in a huge way.
I’d be wearing my gold medals to the grocery store and everything, no matter which family member actually earned them.
