- Brestyan’s hosted a huge reception for their golden girl. See the article for lots of pictures and a video.
Well before she arrived, crowds of fans were already lining up to welcome her home and for a chance to get an autograph and picture with the gold-medal winner. When she did arrive, to Queen’s “We are the Champions,” the crowd went wild, swarming the police cruiser that delivered her to the event.

- Q&A with the Needham Patch on life after gold. She talked about her new sponsorship, newfound celebrity, and future plans.
I’ve only been home for a week and a half, so I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything. I feel like everything’s pretty much normal besides all these little kids waiting here wanting my picture. That’s really special and really amazing, but everything else is normal and everyone’s treating me the same.

- One of Aly’s Olympic gold medals is already dented. She dropped one of them, although she’s not sure whether it’s the team medal or her individual floor medal. That’s too funny that luger David Moeller broke his tooth after biting his newly on medal in 2010-the USA girls should take note since they seem to like biting theirs!
