Despite falls, Gabby Douglas makes Olympic team led by Simone Biles, Aly Raisman

There was plenty of drama Sunday night at San Jose's SAP Center as Gabby Douglas waited to see if she'd get a return trip to the Olympic Games. Following an 18-minute deliberation by the women's gymnastics selection committee, the suspense was lifted and Douglas broke down in tears after leaning she'd been chosen to again to represent Team USA. Tn Requin 2016 Douglas was one of five selected for USA's women's gymnastics team for Rio de Janeiro. She will be joined in Brazil by Simone Biles, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman. MyKayla Skinner, Ragan Smith and Ashton Locklear were selected as alternates. Air Huarache 2016 Douglas led Team USA to Olympic gold in 2012 while capturing a gold medal in the individual all-around event. She is the first reigning all-around gold medal champ since Nadia Comaneci in 1980 to return to the Games. Douglas and Raisman are the USA's first repeat competitors since 2000. Douglas entered Sunday seventh in the standings, but turned in near-flawless performances in the vault and uneven bars to work her way into the top five. But after falling from the balance beam on Friday, Douglas slipped off the beam again during Sunday's routine. A solid performance in the floor exercise wasn't enough to return her to the top five in the points standings, finishing back in seventh place. But the committee is relying on her leadership and experience in Rio. "It was very emotional. Even after a couple of mistakes, they trusted me," Douglas told NBC Sports Sunday night. "Sitting in that room was so emotional and nerve-racking." Tn Requin Biles goes to her first Olympic Games as one of the favorites to claim gold. She's been the all-around champion in the last three World Championships, winning a total of 10 gold medals with a pair of silver and bronze medals.
