Aly Raisman stood proudly on the winners' podium after leading Team USA to gold in the Women's Team competition at Rio 2016.

At 22, team captain Raisman is the oldest American gymnast to compete at the Olympics since 2004, but there were no signs of rustiness as she performed a flawless routine, alongside team-mates Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian.

The group recorded a score of 184.897 - winning by right clear marks - to see off the challenge of runners-up Russia and retain their title won in London four years ago.
