Sports fans are a unique breed. They dress up, and sometimes express their passions in unique ways in support of their team. We have certainly witnessed that with Habs fans.

But the emotions become even more intense when you are a parent of an athlete.  Some can’t even bear to attend games or events.  And then there is the  Raisman family, mother Lynn and father Rick, who have travelled from Needham, Massachusetts to London to support their daughter.  Alexandra is a gymnast on the US team competing at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Lynn and Rick have a rather unique way of encouraging their daughter during her competition.
