Lynn and Rick Raisman haven't gotten any less anxious about their daughter's gymnastics routines in the last four years.

While US gymnast Aly Raisman was helping the team earn a dominating qualifying score on Sunday -- and qualifying for the individual all-around competition herself -- her parents were in the stands watching nervously.

Just watch these two, cringing, swaying, using body english, Lynn clutching at Rick, Rick clutching at the sides of his seat ... and then, at last, sweet relief, clapping and high fives.

If anything, they might have been a little more subdued in London for the 2012 Games, where they first went viral for their reactions in the stands.

Can't wait to see them in the final.
